Work Experience
Farmer's Market / Food Truck Vendor
Fowl Play Chickens and Eggs - Holiday Lakes, TX
April 2016 to Present
During the last several years, I have been raising chickens, pigs, and rabbits for meat and eggs. I also raise Catahoula Leopard dogs for hunting / ranching. I have been spending a good amount of my time repairing and restoring my home from the 2016 and 2017 Harvey floods. During these ventures and adventures, I've learned a great deal about the world and about myself. I've also learned quite a lot about carpentry, plumbing, and even some electrical work. I've learned to operate farm equipment and also do maintenance and some repairs, too. I'm pretty handy with most tools and have a pretty good set of my own. An upcoming idea/venture that I am planning and working on is a farmer's market food truck. Administrative Assistant / Transportation
