My name is Ryan Steva and I am passionate about building regenerative and resilient homesteads. I first started down the rabbit hole of homesteading when I faced a health crisis in my 20s. I had to make a choice to make some major changes, or live a life of illness that doctors told me was unavoidable. When I started researching our food system on my path to healing, I realized that we are damaging our health and simultaneously damaging the land with our modern agricultural practices. It seems so simple now to think that I can grow my own food while building a more fulfilling, resilient and healthy life, but that wasn't where I started. My path from learning how broken our systems are, to building my own, was not a perfectly strait line (I'm still building), but it has been a thrilling journey that has taught me so much! I am extremely excited to be partnering with others on their unique journey to greater independence, greater resilience and a healthier, happier lifestyle!
