THE WOMAN BEHIND THE CRAZY NAME
By: Jennifer Burden
"No one knows for sure where the name comes from. There are haunting legends in which the story varies slightly. One thing is for sure, Crazy Woman’s story has been told time and time again and has paved the way for many jokes from tourists and locals alike – but the stories behind the name are always tragic.
Located northeast of Malad, this productive agricultural unit consists of 2,576± deeded acres lying at the base of Elkhorn Mountain and adjoining the Caribou National Forest.

But it is the astounding diversity of this wild and pristine acreage —almost all of which is enclosed within ranch boundaries that makes the LF so spectacular and unique. The Ranch rises from lush prairie grasses through riparian zones along its many creeks, past the iconic Haystack Butte, and up the Rocky Mountain Front to the Lewis and Clark National Forest, with which it shares a boundary for almost eight miles.

Located about 45 minutes west of Bozeman near the quiet town of Willow Creek, Willow Creek Farm is comprised of about 768 deeded blocked-up acres of which 450± acres are under center-pivot irrigation generating about three and a half tons off of one cutting. Willow Creek, which serpentines through this productive unit for about 1.75 miles, is a tail water out of Harrison Reservoir providing one of the Gallatin Valley’s premier-private trout fisheries. The 1920s farm-house, barn, shop and corrals were completely renovated and refurbished in 2014 and 2015. This is a rare turn-key operation in the thriving Gallatin Valley with pride of ownership evident throughout.
