Why We Do This Work
I’m Kyle Hildebrandt— father, husband, Marine Corps Veteran, Farmer, and founder of Ecotone Stewardship & The Forage Farmstead. My work blends ecology, integrated living systems, and education to help Minnesota landowners care for their land with clarity and confidence. ESC partners to create a more abundant and peaceful future.
At The Forage Farmstead, our family operates a small farm where we manage livestock and perennial plants in an ever evolving agroforestry system—an example of the concepts that informs the plans I deliver.
