Paradise Grazing Company is the second grazing company I've started. Before this, I co-owned Golden State Goats with a friend in SLO county. We decided to part ways because both of us were about to have our first kids and my wife and I wanted to move to northern California to be with family. I grew up in a ranching family, so I've known the benefits of grazing for my entire life. I also spent 5 years as a firefighter and learned a lot about how to create defensible space during that time. My family and I now live in Paradise where we bought a small property and we have been loving being able to watch our daughter grow up in such a beautiful place.
