Homesteading on Howard Ranch
Former educator, toddler parent, and Paso Robles resident. Inspired by a farm stay in Italy, Sofia Howard and her husband moved from their urban cul-de-sac in Orange County to tend to the land on a 22-acre almond orchard in the west hills of Paso Robles wine country in 2019. Howard Ranch is now home to the couple and their two children, who, as a family, are living out their dream of running a modern-day homestead. Homesteading entails living off the land and one’s own resources. It requires a deep respect and understanding of biodiversity and permaculture. As Sofia adopted a learn-as-you-go approach, watching videos on YouTube and reading books, her kids were immersed in this experiential education as well.
