Mount N Farms produces organic fruits, vegetables, and field crops.

Mount N Montana Ranch
The Mount N Ranch is an organic farm and working ranch.  We grow a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, berries, grapes, trees, and cut flowers on the farm. The ranch is located in the mountains along the Continental Divide so we are high, rocky, and very cold. We have greenhouses to expand our short growing season for the crops that need a little extra time to mature. We practice self-sustaining farming methods and have followed a lot of old paths and techniques to help us build and develop our soil and production. We have plans for major expansions in our farming and ranching operations. Next season, we hope to add stone fruits, apple and pear orchards, and expand our vineyard. Our family loves farming and relishes in being in the great outdoors. We enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, and appreciate the quality of homegrown produce. We believe in self-sufficiency and sustainable living and are having fun eating what we grow.

Peace of Heaven Idaho Ranch
The Idaho Ranch provides fresh fruits and vegetables for both ranches. Produce stored and preserved from the Idaho Ranch feeds the Mount N Staff, friends, neighbors, livestock, and guests from around the world. The Ranch provides a large vegetable garden, a broad assortment of culinary and medicinal herbs, a wide selection of brambles and berries, a sizeable apple and pear orchard, and a variety of stone fruits. We also grow our own hay to support our livestock needs. We have a wonderful greenhouse setup to start our growing season a little early in the spring and provide a place of refuge for some of our perennial plant friends in the colder months. The ranch is located in a banana belt on a little mountain that is surrounded by 360 degrees of mountain ridges. We enjoy a very nice balance of temperatures and the property is naturally protected from harsh winds and storm events. The land is sub irrigated so the ground helps water our green things. We feel blessed with our own little garden of blessings...

Some dream of fresh fruits and vegetables. Others go to the market and purchase them. At the Mount N Ranch, our family rises early to plant and grow what we eat. Fresh fruits and vegetables are one of the many blessings God has given us and we enjoy sharing them at the market and with friends and family who visit the ranch.

Many life lessons are learned and taught working in the fields and gardens. One quickly learns you sow what you reap and that you are wise not to ignore weeds that spring up around you in the garden. Weeds invade and rob resources. Even the healthiest plants can be choked out and lose their ability to produce fruit.
Diligence and faithfulness bring great rewards in gardening. Our family loves growing green things, and we appreciate the eternal lessons we learn about growing and flourishing when we are farming.

Whatsoever Thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, wither thou goest.

We invest a lot of time, effort and commitment in our farming operations. During planting and harvesting season, we work long, hard hours while we pray for God's blessings on our efforts. Seeing those pumpkins begin to ripen and picking those first berries always brings such joy and fulfillment to all of us. Excitement abounds on the ranch over each plant that produces fruit...and there are a lot of plants. It is almost like turning our family loose on a treasure hunt when everything starts ripening. We have fun and find such joy in the rewards and blessings of harvest, that we very quickly determine every minute spent working on the garden this season was more than worthwhile.

Garden thoughts from the Nickersons...

I love it when all the plants grow up big and it feels like a jungle out there. Charles


How amazing it is every spring to see life spring up all around us and God's Creation endure no matter how harsh the previous winter.
Watching the seeds sprout into baby plants and mature in time for harvest is a most rewarding part of gardening for me. Chad

There is nothing in the world like a fresh garden salad. Caleb

My favorite part of gardening is harvesting and preserving the fruits of our labors. Hannah

I enjoy discovering the purposes and uses of each of the plants and experimenting on how to help them flourish. Amanda

Then sayeth He unto His disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.

And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
