Welcome! A little bit about us…

Welcome to Timber & Tallow: A Journey Back to Nature

At Timber & Tallow, we believe in living simply, sustainably, and in harmony with nature. Our journey began with a deep-rooted love for the land, self-sufficiency, and clean, intentional living. When we started our family, we felt an even stronger pull to create a life that aligned with these values, one where we could provide for ourselves, slow down, and reconnect with what truly matters.

Finding Home in the Wild

In 2022, that dream became a reality when we secured a breathtaking 320-acre off-grid parcel in the heart of the West Kootenays. Surrounded by towering forests, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife, we knew this was more than just land, it was a sanctuary. A place for restoration, learning, and empowerment.

With the pressures of modern society pulling us further from our roots, we feel it’s more important than ever to create spaces for people to step away, breathe deeply, and reconnect. Timber & Tallow isn’t just about our family’s journey, it’s an invitation for others to rediscover the beauty of a slower, more intentional way of life.

A Sanctuary for Rest & Renewal

We’re crafting a space where like-minded individuals can immerse themselves in nature, whether for a mental reset, an educational experience, or simply a chance to slow down. Starting in Spring 2024, we started offering Airbnb and Hipcamp rentals, allowing guests to stay in our peaceful, off-grid retreat.

Imagine waking up to birdsong, exploring miles of forest trails, swimming in the lake, foraging for wildflowers, exploring the back roads to the rivers and waterfall and ending your day beneath a sky bursting with stars, free from the hum of city life. With no cell service and limited WiFi, this is the perfect place to unplug and truly be.

Experience a Working Off-Grid Farm

Timber & Tallow isn’t just a retreat; it’s a fully operational regenerative farm. We invite you to take a guided tour, meet our animals, and see firsthand how we cultivate the land with care and sustainability at the forefront.

From beekeeping and herbal foraging to natural handmade goods, everything we do is rooted in traditional practices that honor the land and provide for our community. Our farm-fresh products crafted with pure, simple ingredients are an extension of this philosophy, offering a way for you to bring a piece of nature’s healing power into your own home.

 

Pure, Ethical, and Sustainable From Our Farm to You

At Timber & Tallow, we take great care in how we raise our animals. Our livestock is grass-fed and finished, free from GMOs, fillers, or anything artificial—just pure, natural nourishment the way it was meant to be. This dedication to ethical and sustainable farming means that our tallow-based products are as clean and alive as the land they come from. Rich in nutrients and deeply hydrating, our tallow is a reflection of the care and integrity we put into every step of the process—ensuring that what you put on your skin is as pure as what we feed our animals.

Free Your Mind, Feed Your Soul

Whether you come to Timber & Tallow for a stay in the forest, a farm experience, or to enjoy our handcrafted natural goods, we hope you leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and reconnected to the rhythms of nature.

This is more than a place it’s a way of life. Welcome to Timber & Tallow.
