About Me

CURRENT MISSION

playing the game of life
working towards growing and developing agroforestry crops because I believe we can have healthy soils and eat our healthy foods too

My dream and ambition is to run a diversified perennials farm, crops including chestnuts, hazelnuts, berries, asparagus, medicinal and culinary herbs, small livestock and much more. I would like to join with others and live in community and share land and resources.

ABOUT ME

I can't be anything other than me. and I get along best with people who are really themselves. I would describe my personality as playful, responsible, curious, active, mindful, creative,wild, peaceful, sarcastic, daring, and spiritual if you can be all those things at once. I need to be around people, I love being able to help people, listen to people, share time with people. A lot of things inspire me, like living spaces, cats, handmade things, food, music and traveling. I've got my opinions on things are enjoy people with their own opinions so we can share and compare.

PHILOSOPHY

To make the world a better place, start with yourself.

Things were not meant to be owned and we shouldn't hoard more than we need when others have none.

No human being is worth more or less than another.
