Summary
Driven by eight years of retirement, my wife and I embarked on a path of sustainable living. We transformed our inherited family home into a flourishing homestead, nurturing not just our garden and fruit trees, but also a passion for permaculture and the potential to reshape our food system.
Motivated by a desire to contribute to the solution, I seek to expand my knowledge beyond our own property. This includes building upon the legacy of our family's heirloom grape vine company, envisioning community gardens bursting with life thanks to the legacy of its seeds. My goal: empower my community through regenerative farming initiatives, starting with establishing these vibrant community gardens, fueled by the fruits of our shared history and commitment to the future.
