Welcome to the Homestead! 

Named after the passed down family brand, a broken heart.  We are humble little operation nestled in the hills of Potomac, MT.  Run by myself (Chahoristah), my mother (Tamara) and heavy lifting support from my husband (Beau).

​

We grew up in the Evaro/Arlee area.  Beau and I are high school sweethearts, graduated together in 2011, and married in 2013.  Beau spent four years in the USMC, where we were based on Camp Pendelton in Southern CA.  Upon returning to our home state in 2016 we purchased our first home on two little acres.  I was intent on getting back into livestock and ecstatic to be starting our homesteading journey!

​

Since then, our sable dairy goat herd now provides us with fabulous raw milk.  Laying hens provide us with a healthy supply of fresh eggs.  We collaborate with a great friend and neighbor on raising/processing rabbit, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork and we’ve begun purchasing locally grown beef.  Some years we find the time to hunt and put venison in the freezer as well.  What an amazing feeling it is to be producing/locally sourcing all our meat and what a goal we have accomplished!  Our next objective towards raising our own food will be building a garden, we are so looking forward to the start of that venture.  I do believe that is the short and sweet of what we have going on around here.  One of the biggest blessings along the way is our wonderful dairy herd.

​

The goats started out very few in numbers only wanting to provide our own milk.  After the purchase of our first Sable doe, Ko Ko in 2018, I fell head over heels for this sweet, hardy, productive gal and she lit a fire in me to start raising this lesser common, amazing breed.  Like I stated before, we are a humble little operation.  How sweet it is to look back and see how far we’ve come; I can’t wait to see what is yet in store!  My objective with this herd is to produce hardy, quality, productive animals.  Whether you need your own homestead milker, one to take to the show ring, or big pack boys, please don't hesitate to reach out, see if we have what you are looking for.  I look forward to chatting with you!
