~Where the Wild Things Grow~
Tucked into the Cabinet Mountains on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Ktunaxa (Kootenai), Kalispell, and Salish Nations, surrounded by National Forest, and bordering a crisp mountain river that flows from designated Wilderness, this small farm has a little of everything. Veggies. Flowers. Herbs. Chickens. Medicinal Botanicals. Our neighbors are elk, deer, moose, grizzly and black bears, mountain lions, wolves, ermine, mink, bald eagles, hawks, ravens, and more. So much so that I consider our place more of a wild farm than a cultivated farm because I let the boundary between farm and forest soften. I let the Elk walk up to my fences without worry and the 'weeds' to grow among the 'crops' until I forget which seeds I planted and which were already there.
I strive to tend more than cultivate.
I strive to listen and adapt more than order and control.
I strive to be in relation to the Land more than force it what to provide.
As part of that striving, I'm working to enact a shared dream between the Land and I for the present-day hay field to become a food forest with a blend of 'native' wild plants, non-native food plants, and cultivated 'crops' to feed both human and non-human residents and migrants. A place where the rhythms of community walk beside and within the rhythms of the forest, field, and farm.
