Chama, NM - Arthur Lloyd Steindl, 89, of Chama, New Mexico, passed away peacefully, on Sunday, January 17th, 2021. Arthur s passing was as he wished it, at home with his wife Beverly, and his beloved cats nearby.
Arthur was the son of Albert and Francis (Kelly) Steindl. Arthur married his wife Beverly Timm in 2002. Arthur farmed for most of his life in Orfordville, WI. Arthur enjoyed being close to the land and loved animals of all kinds. Arthur milked dairy cows for all of his farming career, but also raised pigs and chickens for a period of time. Arthur s farm was home to many cats, dogs, horses and even one sheep. Arthur initially used main stream farming methods but evolved in time to more earth friendly practices, transitioning to organic and strip farming methods to honor and preserve the land. Arthur was a pioneer of sorts, as he started organic farming well before this was a widely accepted and respected practice. The farm was a hard task master. When able
