Website Designer, Digital Media Manager, and Daughter
Lara is the daughter of Michael and Nicole Lares. Since they moved to Canada in 2011, Lara has grown up on the Flying L Ranch in Nemiah Valley. Growing up immersed in nature and wild animals, Lara has a unique viewpoint of the world around her.
“When you live in the remote wilderness for long enough, especially as a kid, you learn a lot about the world. When to step in and assist vs when to let nature do it’s thing. Cultivating the land and caring for animals teaches you how to make that call.”
Nicole gave both of her children a homeschool education, working with them personally from Pre-K to graduation. In June of 2021 Lara graduated from high school with honors.
Having been a creative person since she was a little kid, Lara turned to writing as a passion and future career. She applied and got into the Toronto Film School’s ‘Screenwriting for TV and Film Diploma’ program, where she began attending online courses in the fall of 2021. She graduated with honors in 2023, earning her Associates Diploma in Screenwriting for TV and Film.
As the oldest child, Lara is not shy when it comes to the responsibilities of the ranch. She enjoys taking care of her animals, such as her cats, chickens, dogs, and birds.
Amongst all the responsibilities of the ranch, Lara also tries to spend whatever time she can immersed in her horses. Whether it’s the snuggliest babies or the most jaded centurians, Lara’s soft spot knows no bounds!
She has spent most of her summer days helping around the ranch with moving and sorting wild horses, and getting in some bonding time with the saddle horses in the fields.
A creative person since childhood, Lara also spends lots of time typing out new story ideas or helping Nicole come up with new recipes in the kitchen.
On top of her day-to-day responsibilities at the Flying L Ranch, Lara works full time as a website developer, video editor, and content creator. She handles merchandise management and product creation as well for the Flying L!
Lara you’re such a sweet and beautiful young woman that I’m sure makes your parents proud ❤️
Lara, have you & your mom ever thought of writing a cookbook? Something with off grid recipes. Party recipes too! I can’t believe how off grid you are, yet your celebration decorations are so beautiful.
