I am looking for a farm to steward, I am a veteran, Chef, and avid forager.

My family feels called to serve whatever community we are in by providing clean, nutritious food and by stewarding the land and resources that God provides.  We have been planning and learning and are actively looking for a farm to start working and managing.  I have worked in the food industry for aver a decade, including working as a chef on a farm venue.

Equipment and infrastructure details

We are happy for any existing infrastructure but we are also willing to invest in infrastructure as we grow our operation.

Opportunity details

Practices details

I believe and have seen on the farms I have worked with in my Private Chef business that proper care of the land produces abundance.  Our plan is to work with the natural processes as stewards, honoring the systems that God has created to care for the land, animals, plants and the community we are in.
