Hi There!
I'm Chelsea, the face and heart behind Little Mountain Ranch. Welcome—I'm so glad you're here!
For me, Little Mountain Ranch isn't just a business; it's a lifestyle rooted deeply in self-sufficiency, meaningful connection, and joy-filled simplicity. I'm passionate about empowering others to reclaim traditional skills, from gardening and food preservation to cooking delicious meals from scratch and thoughtfully caring for farm animals.
On our ranch, nestled in the peaceful mountains of Canada, my husband Dan and I have spent decades cultivating a life built on authenticity, sustainability, and community. Together, we've tackled everything from extensive DIY home renovations—including giving our 1970s kitchen cupboards a fresh, charming makeover—to harvesting hundreds of pounds of vibrant produce each year.
My approach is simple: practical knowledge delivered with warmth and clarity, as comfortable as sharing a cup of tea with a good friend. Whether I'm guiding you through the steps of pressure canning nutritious soups, sharing the secrets of growing abundant gardens in northern climates, or demonstrating thrifty yet nourishing meals made entirely from scratch, my goal is always the same—to inspire and empower you.
Through Little Mountain Ranch, I've built a welcoming community filled with people just like you—curious, passionate, and eager to learn. My YouTube channel, courses, and resources offer approachable, hands-on advice designed to fit your real, busy life.
When I'm not filming new videos, crafting guides, or working on my next book, you'll likely find me enjoying time with Dan and our family, experimenting in the kitchen, or out tending to the garden and animals on our ranch. It's a beautiful, messy, joyful life—and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I'm thrilled you're here, and I look forward to sharing this journey toward a more sustainable, connected, and fulfilling life together.
Love,
Chelsea & the Little Mountain Ranch Family!
