Wild Mountain Farms is no longer a business. After nearly twenty years of hard work, we have finished breeding and raising horses and have sold our stallion. We are keeping the ​website to share news about our lives with the many people who come to visit us here regularly.

Montana Wildflowers...

As a lifelong lover of wildflowers, I have devoted a section of this site to the Montana Wildflowers that can be found in my corner of the world. 

My hope is that you will find this helpful in identifying the various wildflowers from the Mountain West and enjoy the photography. 

Contact me with any questions!
