Our Story

Bare Bear Farms grew from a journey we never expected to take.

It began with a need to live differently.

After my husband’s time in the military left him dealing with the effects of nerve damage and exposure to heavy metals and other toxins, our family began taking a much closer look at the things we were bringing into our home, putting on our bodies, and eventually, putting on our plates.

We started small.

We learned to make our own cleaning and home care products using simple ingredients we could recognize and trust. One change led to another. We became more conscious of what we were buying, how things were made, and how much of modern life happens without ever really knowing what goes into the products we use every day.

Eventually, those same questions led us to our food.

Where did it come from? How was it grown? How were the animals raised? What was used on the land? And what would it look like to take more responsibility for feeding our own family?

The answer, somehow, became a farm.

Today, Bare Bear Farms is our attempt to build the kind of food system we wanted to find for ourselves—one rooted in transparency, thoughtful stewardship, and a deep respect for the living systems that make our food possible.

We’re not chasing the fastest way to farm, the biggest yields, or the cheapest way to produce food. We’re learning to work with the land instead of against it. Our animals are raised outside under the sun, our pastures are managed with regeneration in mind, and we’re continually looking for ways to leave the soil healthier, the ecosystem more diverse, and this little piece of earth more alive than we found it.

What started as an effort to create a cleaner home became something much bigger.

A cleaner way of living led us back to the land.

And now, we’re building a farm around the simple belief that we should know what goes into the things we bring into our homes, understand where our food comes from, and take responsibility for the way it is produced.

That’s the story of Bare Bear Farms.

And in many ways, it’s only just beginning.
