Field Five at county rail farm
Field Five Flowers is located at County Rail Farm in Huson, Montana, just west of Missoula. The vegetable operation, County Rail Farm, has been running since 2011. Field Five Flowers, est. 2020, is run by Bethany Stanbery, a queer artist, metalsmith, and designer and by Tracy Potter-Fins, aka Mama T, a queer farmer who loves to dance, cook, and work in the field.
TRACY
Tracy grew up in Moscow, Idaho and went to college in New York state, where she farmed with Hearty Roots and Awesome Farm for three summers after traveling abroad and working on small organic farms in Europe. She has worked as a beekeeper, sheep shearer, and baker, but her favorite job is being Mama T.
BETHANY
Bethany grew up in Helena, Montana and has excelled at various careers including as a professional ballerina, aerialist, and work in restaurant design and management. She creates hand-forged fabricated jewelry in the winter months and cultivates botanicals; spring through late fall. This is her second year designing in sustainable floral artistry and is excited to launch a full-scale event design studio-Nectar Tap Studio soon.

We are so thankful for all the support we’ve received from our great friends, members, and the farming community.
We occupy traditional lands of the Bitterroot Salish (Selis), Pend d’Oreille (Qlispe), Nez Perce (Nimiipuu), Coeur d’Alene (Skitswish), Ksanka and Ktunaxa peoples, and we actively acknowledge and work to make reparations for the rights that were and are violated in the process of our occupation of this ground.
If you’d like to visit, get in touch! County Rail + Field Five is open to all visitors as long as we have some notice, and we will soon have a guest space for farm stays, if you’re into that kind of thing.
