Ryan with our dogs

My name is Ryan Heuser

Professionally I’ve been held many jobs; from delivering pizzas through college, to eventually starting my own business from my garage. The challenges of being an entrepreneur have taught me some incredibly hard life lessons and have also been incredibly rewarding. Having built a successful global brand, I was able to enjoy the freedoms of a non traditional job and was afforded the ability of reinventing myself in a new place. I’m a father of three great kids, all of which are better at soccer than I was at their ages! Living a balanced and healthy lifestyle is paramount to my existence. If I don’t get outside and run, or do something that gets my hear rate up, well let’s just say it’s not good. This new country lifestyle keeps me much more rooted in the present and my hands constantly dirty or bleeding. I'm a dreamer but mostly a do’er! I like setting goals, establishing a plan and willing my ideas into reality.

Frontier Feathers started out as a creative outlet during our transition from the coast to the Pacific Northwest.

It has turned into a place where we as a family are taking on challenges as we build our family farm and explore our frontier, Idaho.

Mama to J+J+G : 2 dogs : 7 chickens. 3 Chicks. 3 goats. 2 pigs. I am wife to my best friend, Ryan. I am not just saying that… he truly inspires me, challenges me and accepts all my quirks! I am terrible with dates. I still write stuff on my hands. I love sharing home grown food and farm fresh eggs with family and friends . I would love to have you come sit at my table. Exploring outdoors as a family is my favorite past time. I laugh too loud. I love arts + crafts. My house is tidy but my mind is cluttered. I have multiple junk doors. I collect feathers, it’s like finding buried treasure.
