The Family Chalmers Consortium

Who We Are

The Family Chalmers Consortium is a multigenerational, family-owned collective rooted in creativity, stewardship, and principle. We build lasting work — not for shareholders, but for each other, our community, and the future.

a summary

our ethos

We are not here to flip, scale, or sell out. We are here to create something enduring — a circle of work and art designed to sustain our family, enrich our community, and leave this Life a little better than we found it.

core values

Egalitarianism

No one above, no one below. Equal voices, shared responsibility.

Conscientious Capitalism

Profit with purpose, never at the expense of ethics or ecology.

Diversity & Inclusion

We thrive on difference, united by respect & purpose.

Legacy & Stewardship

What we build today must be inherited and improved tomorrow.

Transparency & Trust

In all we do, inside and out.

Art as Practice

Creativity isn’t a product. It’s a way of life.

The Consortium brings together decades of lived experience — publishing, music, homesteading, land care, food, and art — into a single, sustainable structure.

We operate by consensus, not hierarchy. We value collaboration over competition, integrity over expedience. Our projects are interconnected, intentional, and infused with purpose.

This isn’t just business.
