Two Bear Farm

Two Bear Farm sits on 100 acres bordering the Stillwater River at the base of Spencer Mountain approximately 7 miles west of the town of Whitefish. We are passionate about land stewardship, production of healthy food that improves human health, and educating young farmers to prepare them for their own farms someday. While we have always been Certified Organic, we are always looking for ways to be better farmers and land stewards. Our farm is located in a former swamp that has a high water table and soils with high clay content, low organic matter, and are prone to compaction. While we used tillage to create the farm, break compaction, and create raised beds, we are trying to transition to a minimal tillage system to farm in a more regenerative way. This entails using more of a biological approach to farming to replace tillage, increasing organic matter so that we can keep permanent raised beds from season to season without too much compaction, and implementing a large scale process for growing crops for compost and then making compost. The overall goal is to protect the soil food web so that our farm, and the food we produce, is healthier.
