Summary

Transitioning from a career in bricklaying to rural life and farming is an exciting step for me and my family. With a decade of experience in construction, I bring transferable skills in problem-solving, precision, and a commitment to excellence to the agricultural domain. My upbringing in rural environments has instilled a deep appreciation for hard work, community, and the well-being of animals and the farm. Committed to applying these skills and values to our new venture, we are eager to embrace the challenges and rewards of farming, fostering a deep sense of fulfillment and belonging in our new rural home.
