About Us
Our Forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside….What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. ~T.K. Whipple
How we got here
Our family moved to Northwest Montana 14+ years ago. We set out with a love of nature, 3 babies and a strong desire to live in the mountains, very little money and not much else. We took several weeks to drive here, not knowing where we would end up, with everything we owned stuffed into a pickup and slide in. We stopped everywhere we could that was beautiful and new to us, and avoided everything that was populated and civilized. We stayed on the plains of Nebraska, Looked out in wonder at the Teton’s. Hiked and fished for 2 weeks in Yellowstone, then again in Glacier. If it weren’t for an early October snow that year, we might have made it to Alaska. but we fell in love with the Flathead Valley and have made it our home. Our relations thought we were crazy, and took bets on when we would be crawling back. It wasn’t an easy road, and money has always been scarce, but we have always believed, You can be rich, or you can be happy. We chose the latter, and 14 years later, we wouldn’t change a thing.

Who We Are
We are a small family farm. We named our place after our loving wife and mother Chanda, and the beginning of our last name. We live overlooking the flathead valley up on the foothills of the Continental divide.
We set out to make nature our home, and have tried to learn every skill we could to help sustain us. We offer you what we can from our journey, be it advice, answers to questions, or the things we can make or produce with our skills, labor, or land.
Taking care of nature is of great concern to us, because we live, or die, with it. We are saddened by the wholesale rape of the land, groaning of our planet, and the destruction of its farms and land for more cities, shopping malls, and subdivisions.
We always work to do what is right for the environment first, even if it means more work, a lesser yield, or a thinner wallet. We are committed to leaving this planet a little greener, a little more wild, a little less scarred than when we came into it.
