The Home Quarter · NW Alberta
The Mellons.
It's a family thing.
¶ Two Generations
Rich and Sandi built it. Jake and Marisa are growing it. And Nathaniel and Raegan are already learning by doing — the way every Mellon on this land has.
¶ The Founders
Rich & Sandi.
Rich Mellon
Founder · The Patch
Built The Mellon Patch from the ground up alongside Sandi more than 20 years ago. Hunter, builder, butcher, beekeeper — does whatever the day requires.
Sandi Mellon
Founder · The Patch
Co-founder, gardener, and the heart of the kitchen. Runs the dairy, the canning, and the soap-making. Knows every animal on the place by name.
