Hello! 

I’m a navy veteran that is looking to start regenerative ranching/farming operation. 

Right now I’m raw, no farming experience. I’m looking to get started wisely, focusing on little to no debt, and run a custom grazing plan or something similar. Once I’m in a position to go full time, I’d like to start a cattle/sheep operation. I’m wholly focused on the regenerative, all grass approach.

  • Lease (1 to 5 Years)
  • Lease w/Option to Buy
  • Lease w/Mentoring
  • Employment / Internship / Mentorship
  • Regenerative
  • Certified organic

Practices details

I’d like to run a regenerative livestock operation and once I have that come to fruition and feel comfortable with it, I have a lot of business ideas. I’d like to do direct to consumer meat sales, cow/calf sales, and do a small scale produce operation and engage in local farmers markets. Eventually, I’d like to have an Airbnb on a farm to spread the word and experience of regenerative agriculture. 

  • Cattle (Dairy / Beef)
  • Flowers / Herbs
  • Poultry (Broiler / Layer)
  • Sheep/Goat (Dairy / Meat)
  • Vegetables

Goals details

Regenerative everything! I want to take care of the land and animals in the best way possible, and I think everything downstream of that will take care of itself (within reason). Being honest 100% of the way and providing real results.

Experience details

No formal education/training in the industry. I do have a bachelors in business administration and a masters in project management however, with about 9 years of professional experience, but right now I’d be coming in about as green as they come. But HUNGRY!!
