You’re right. The world is a mess right now. Food sovereignty is under attack. Many are panic buying and selling property in search of a solution. Our land and skies and waters are being polluted and destroyed and many are waking up to the real culprits. They seem too powerful to beat . . . or are they?
You also know that you were born for this. You’ve always been a little offbeat, a little eccentric maybe. You long for the old world and its values, its beauty, connection, and goodness. You want your homesteading to be an art, a solace, a medicine. You’ve come to the right place

David and Krista met in 2004 and were married 6 months later. Their daughter, Fiadh, was born at home amongst first Camelia blossoms and the scent of Winter Daphne. Their son, Xoco, was born unassisted during the fall garlic harvest when the Swifts pass through the northwest on their way to Mexico.
They made the choice to home/un school their children within an anthroposophical earth-centered frame among cultural pressure against it. Now, as their kids cross through the crucible of adolescence, they are proud to say, it was all worth it.
They got their first chickens in 2005, their first goats in 2008. They made their first sauerkraut in 2006 and their first kefir sodas in 2007. The rest is history!
philosopher, poet, chef, Dr. Mama
Philosopher, poet, minister, chef . . . Krista is an old soul who dreams of being grandmother to many. Her big job is to turn all the raw ingredients into delicious meals: goat tajine and tamales, goat milk yogurt, herb drizzles, and myriad kefir soda flavors – also soaps and salves, tinctures and tonics.
You will find her either tending the garden or her starts & ferments, wondering out loud, or dreaming into what Tierra Soul was, is, and will become.
You can see her art & healing stuff over HERE!

What would we do without David? Whether it’s running water lines for the garden, inventing a quick fix for an emergency melt-down of some sort, fixing a neighbor’s fence, or listening to the dreams of his family so he can put them into action,
David is all service.
David loves music and exploring. He dreams of building a dwelling with his own hands – maybe this is the year – Check out our natural building workshops and be a part of his vision!

Xoco loves pigs and has a favorite chicken named Bobineau. He loves the feeling of “having-done chores” but has a hard time waking up early. Still, for the love of pigs and horses and chickens – he does it!
Xoco is a designer and builds things you wouldn’t believe out of lego. He is learning to whittle bowls, forge knives and you can see his breathtaking photography HERE!

Fia is a dreamer and philosopher even when taking the goats to pasture. She just might come home with a hand woven grass charm or create a stone circle near the arroyo. She is the ranch manager and works hard to nurture the establishment quality of mini nubian dairy goats in the high desert.
Fia is a beautiful writer and loves to play guitar and sing. She also makes a mean Mexican chocolate goat milk ice cream. Visit the farm-stand / member-café to try it out!

Meet Osmar, sweetheart to Fiadh and the newest addition to our ranch family. Osmar is a passionate regenerative rancher. He grew up on his grandparent's farm in rural Guatemala and for the last five years has been working with Sovereignty Ranch developing
and managing their dairy herd!
He loves goats just as much as Fia (how to you think they connected? haha). He also makes the most delicious raw milk kefir... And takes the most wonderful care of our precious girl.
Welcome Osmar!
