A family of legacy.
Mark’s great-grandparents – Evert and Gertrude immigrated to America from Holland in 1887 and 1891. They first moved to Michigan, were married in 1898 and had six children prior to moving to Montana in 1908. In 1917 they purchased the first 240 acres south of Kalispell to homestead. They had a total of 13 children. Mark’s grandfather, Peter was the 2nd oldest. Peter was a “Tiebucker” , which meant he bucked railroad ties by hand, over his shoulder for over 25 years in Lakeside. Railroad ties weighed anywhere from 150-400 lbs. Peter and Louise had 6 children and their 5th child, Thomas was the farmer of the family. Tom would purchase the family farm east of Kalispell on the banks of the Flathead River, which is where Heather and Mark live and farm today. Tom would raise 1000’s of Hogs and cattle in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. When Mark left for college in the 90’s, Tom got out of the hog business and raised cattle only and farmed the land.
Beef
We have always relied on word of mouth to promote our sales, which has helped us grow over the last 24 years. We’ve learned that customers love to know where their food is grown and how it is raised. We are very transparent, that every animal is born and raised on our farm and we maintain ownership throughout the entire life of the animal, to ensure the highest quality beef from our farm to your table!
Hay
Barley
We also offer home raised feed barley in bulk, as well as various types of hay in the form of large round bales on our family farm.
We support Montana meat processing.
