About Us
We both grew up in the midwest, met in Montana, and have always leaned toward self-sufficient and sustainable agriculture. After twelve years on this remnant of an old Sagle homestead (ours is the third or fourth house here)we decided to expand and commit to producing for community as well. Jan reads and researches constantly while Al provides support, fence maintenance, and home-brewed beer to enjoy when the day's work is done.

Ingredients
Natural pasture, fertilized by sheep and horse manure. Excellent quality alfalfa hay grown near Bonners Ferry. Compost from winter barn bedding, from garden & kitchen waste, and vermicompost.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
Intensive grazing management with sheep and horses rotated through subpastures until it gets too dry in late August. Animals are then fed alfalfa hay on the pastures to add the leftover trampled organics to the soil for the following year. Only natural and organic products are used in the gardens and the sheep. Natural (no chemicals) control for parasites, minimum vaccinations.

Additional Information
Homestead apple and cherry trees are not subjected to any chemical sprays or herbicides.
