Hi everyone, I’m Carson Wyatt.
I’m a rancher and homesteader in Kalispell, Montana. We raise beef and dairy cattle, chickens and turkeys, and later we took on American bison too. That’s still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I didn’t start out here. For years I was a mechanical engineer, out on the road a week or more at a time while my wife, Kathy, and our three kids waited at home. Too many dinners were a fast-food burger and a video call from somewhere halfway across the country. So I took some time off, started a small herd and kept growing it until ranching became my full-time living. Now I eat steak at my own table, with my family, in person.
That life shapes everything I write. My books are about cooking the way folks used to: real fats, food from scratch, and the old traditions worth keeping. The Beef Tallow Cookbook brings back the old-fashioned cooking fat that’s finding its way into kitchens again. Kathy and I write our Christmas books together. A Relaxing Country Christmas Cookbook is full of holiday recipes you should have gotten from your grandmother, and Glühwein, Glögg & Wassail gathers the old-world mulled wines, ciders and punches we love on cold Montana nights.
You only get one life. Don’t dread what you do every day. You can change your life and do work you enjoy. For me, leaving the rat race to ranch full time has been a real blessing.
Best regards,
Carson Wyatt
