Mark specializes in the installment of orchards, food forests, and other designed landscape perennial plantings.
Mark and Makia first met on a small family farm & vineyard in Northern California, where they worked and lived off the grid together for 3 years. After spending time volunteering on small farms & projects across the world, they were certified in Permaculture Design in the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal in 2017. Their first project back in the US was reviving a small farm and motel property in upstate New York, which they owned and operated for two years. After selling the business, they returned to Makia's hometown of Kalispell Montana, where Flathead Permaculture was born. They broke ground in 2020 on their small farm and homestead located on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Hot Springs Montana. Named after the precious hot springs village in Nepal, Tatopani Farm & Homestead is a diverse small acreage operation with focuses on dairy goats, laying flocks, homestead & market garden, orchards & food forests, tree & plant nursery, plant breeding & seed saving, cultivar research & testing.
Off the farm Mark works as Flathead Permaculture, consulting and helping to develop regenerative sites across the Inland Northwest. He also serves as President of the Nyah Grange in the local Hot Springs Community.
Mark, Makia, and their son Rumi, are active members of the Nyah Grange, Inland Northwest Permaculture Guild, and co-managers of the Hot Springs Farmers Market.
