SpiritWorks Herb Farm

We are located in NW Montana (short growing season). Our garden goal is to develop a diverse expanded season organic food source, that has hard to find valuable heirlooms, health boosting foods and near extinct medicinal herbs. All this with a flavor of functional rustic homesteading that embraces an eye for balance, beauty and whimsy. We offer an opportunity for learning how to do homesteading and agricultural projects with what is available or can easily and inexpensively be found or recycled - embracing the yankee value of “Use it up, Wear it Out, Make it Do or Do Without.”

Our natural and organic agricultural practices incorporate companion planting, raised beds, intensive wide row planting and design with function and beauty, like an artist using plants for paints and the land for a canvas. Sounds corny, but a visit here reveals the truth of this.

I have been gardening most of my life in Northern New England and am newly researching and experimenting with what grows well here in Montana and incorporating some newly learned permaculture concepts.

There is a healing sanctuary on site and exposure to the healing arts offered here is available to those interested. I am willing to teach and offer health building resources that will stretch and expand your wellness and vitality. A link to my healing arts practice will be provided to serious candidates.

Our ten acre property is surrounded on two sides by over 500 acres of forest land with hiking and biking trails and is about midway between downtown Whitefish and downtown Kalispell, Montana. Glacier National Park is 30 minutes away. Outdoor recreational and cultural opportunities here are diverse and awesome!

This is a young agricultural venture on this land and in 2014, the gardens here are in their third season. In 2014, we will finish building out the foundational infrastructure for the gardens, with soil building, housing prep., hoop houses, and fencing.
