Our Story Together
Beaver Creek Homestead was only an idea to us a few years ago. Now we are living our dream, living with the land around us and building things together. This lifestyle is what we both imagined when we first found each other and every adventure we’ve had since then has led us here. Having experienced working together to run a remote hunting lodge for a few seasons, we knew we were a fantastic team. Our experiences up North showed us that we are capable of much more than we imagined, when we work together. Now we strive to build our business together, learning more along the way and nurturing the life we love.

On the homestead, my responsibilities range from constructing our custom buildings to looking after livestock, as well as day-to-day maintenance and operations on the property. I have always enjoyed being outdoors and around animals. As a kid, I pictured myself living in a cabin in the woods. My desire for adventure led me to Northern Alberta, where I started guiding hunters for black bear and moose. This rugged country taught me many skills which I never could have learned in the classroom. Seeking new experiences led me to many opportunities, including working on a ranch in beautiful southern Alberta. It was there that my dream of raising my own livestock was reignited. Together with Mila, I am focusing on my interests of building, hunting, and homesteading.

Growing up hunting in the forests of British Columbia with my father and cooking in the kitchen with my mother and grandmother, I've grown up with the knowledge, experience and passion I need for the life I want. Like Jacob, I always dreamt of living in a cabin in the woods and once we met, we were unstoppable. Nurturing a simple, slow life is my dream; tending to the animals and gardens, walking in the forest and working with my partner to create things with our own hands. I am passionate about living in a natural, sustainable way that supports my health and happiness as well as those around me.
