In Seattle, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and 4 acres of farmland. My passion for working with my hands has led me to a life filled with craft, community, good locally grown food and, of course, lots of animal snuggles. In this video, I share the how/why's of becoming a small scale farmer and homesteader. Farming is becoming increasingly less popular among my young peers, and I aim to do everything I can to change that. Farming is hard work, there's no way around that, but buying a small farm four years ago is the best decision I've ever made. Through the heartbreak, joys and triumph I've experienced raising livestock and working the land, I've become the person I feel I was made to be. Help Support this project and others!
