Why work with Stephen
15+ years rooted in Regenerative land-based experience — from Biodynamic vineyards and organic distilleries to a 90,000-acre cattle ranch, working directly in agriculture, ecology, and holistic land management.
Founder of multiple regenerative ventures — including Onda (World’s first Biodynamic hemp company), Nuturn (clinically proven regenerative skincare ingredient), and Prairie Star Beef (rotational grazing beef startup).
Hands-on expertise taking ideas from seed → product → brand → launch — with real success in developing regenerative supply chains, formulations, business models, and go-to-market strategies.
Creative director and storyteller for top agrarian and heritage brands — including Pendleton, Red Wing, Toyota, Tecovas, BMW, and Long Meadow Ranch, translating land-based values to mainstream audiences.
Bridge-builder between farmers and brands — helping producers, CPG brands, and land stewards align sourcing, narrative, and regenerative principles with consumer trust.
Experienced guide through the emotional and operational realities of entrepreneurship — having navigated burnout, uncertainty, and the nonlinear path of building mission-driven companies from scratch.
A systems thinker who lives the work — integrating lived off-grid homesteading, soil-to-product knowledge, and regenerative leadership into practical, actionable business support.
