My name is Brooke Bevan. I bought property near Pagosa Springs in 2018. I am located out toward Chimney Rock. I am originally from Salida, CO. I have been developing my rural acre with the goal of maintaining small business operations as a personally  independent professional pursuit. I have come a long way, though am not entirely in operation.

The initial intent of my business was to have a safe umbrella for most things sellable I can do. I was intending foreign travel photography at first. I did not experience living and working standards I was willing to accept, nor did the travel seem safe especially involving vagrancy laws and class differences. I changed my focus first to wood carvings, a hobby good for establishing a home on my own property. I then turned to pigs noticing self-sufficiency needs starting to "homestead". Intent to sell logging and pealing posts came quickly needing to build my own fence, and remembering my upbringing. Photography has recently inspired me looking at photographs from traveling the world 2015-2017 barely looked at since flying home to the mainland in 2017. Perhaps when I am confident in reasonable safety for myself and business as well as supporters and clientele there will be more travel. It is a definite goal and general sense of direction for development.

This start-up has been partially funded through "right to solicit charity" panhandling activities. There has been regular hitchhiking through start-up development.

Support from my parents has at times kept things afloat when no real income has been maintained. My sibling has also contributed when I have not entirely gotten things to work out on my own. It is preferred that I can and do get things to work out on my own. 

I of course appreciate reasonable contribution from supporters.

The goal of this property, business, and development is to be an independently owned and operated female entrepreneurship, by myself, Brooke Bevan.
