HI, MY NAME IS STEVE!

In 2020, my two boys Levi and Kale, my cat Lola and I, moved from a small corner lot in town to 16 acres in the country. Leaving behind the manicured lawn, I wanted a new challenge, to accomplish a new goal, and to live a new lifestyle. Well, I got all three plus a whole lot more! Living the country life took some adjusting, but the scenery, the sounds of nature and the dark starry skies outweigh the stink bugs, the flies and the rodents. Developing my property to grow food, raise livestock, or expand on other ideas that come along, will be a lifelong journey that will be constantly evolving. Woah, let me backup a bit…

A lifetime ago, my passion in life was creating art. Being creative was a huge aspect of my youth and early adulthood. Well heck, after high school, I went on to complete 6 years of art education and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Animation from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, British Columbia. As time went on, being creative and was not enough for the family, so I shifted gears and began my working career in the Health & Safety field. Fast forward to 2023, and Freedom thru Farming was born...

​

I think of myself as a continuous learner. Well, I have no shortage of learning to do or projects around the farm to complete. This path I am choosing to follow will be a lifelong journey, with ups and downs, heartache and sadness, passion and pleasure, and freedom! Besides starting a farm with little to no experience, creating art again, or working on other projects as time permits, let’s just throw in some good ol’ video production and film this crazy journey.

By sharing my journey, I hope to inspire others to take action to find freedom and to learn from my tribulations or triumphs. What I have planned now may change, however, I will adapt and modify my path to work within the box that I am creating.

Thank you for following my adventure and reach out if you have any questions or concerns!

​

Cheers,

Steve
