About Us

Looking Forward

It is our hope that you will take advantage of the information and resources on this website so you can become more aware and educated about biochar. There’s a lot of research being done around the world and we are excited to be providing biochar for a few of these studies. The WA Franke College of Forestry & conservation at the University of Montana is working on a project with the hope of identifying ways that Genesis Biochar can be used to mitigate the environmental impacts of fire retardant used to fight wild fires. We are also working with a research engineer that is developing reusable biochar filters that can be used to extract nutrients from waste water which can then the inoculated biochar can then be used as a soil amendment. The possibilities of these projects and the future of the biochar industry are exciting.

 What We Do

We provide a quality Montana Made biochar  product that will help individuals make an impact for a better healthier world. Whether it’s a garden, large acreage farm, or a potted plant, our goal is to offer quality organic boichar that will be used to promote soil health which as a consequence will produce healthier nutrient dense foods while sequestering carbon. 

Joe and Brenda Clark

My wife Brenda and I are best known for our 32 year role in the log furniture industry. We started Frontier Furniture in 1973 when no one else was commercially producing hand peeled log furniture. When we sold the company in 2002, Frontier Furniture was servicing close to a 100 dealers and had a thriving presence on the web. We also built and managed five drive-thru espresso companies as well as a video production company.

After we sold our companies, we invested heavily in commercial real-estate. We were just finishing up the infrastructure on a large land development in Costa Rica when the 2008 financial crash came. I remember the experience as being like sitting in the drivers seat of a sports car and for no reason the car just would no longer respond and was impossible to repair. So we found ourselves needing to reinvent ourselves. 

This was not the first time we have had to start over. Our furniture manufacturing facility was located in the Montana back woods which made it impossible to get insurance so when the facility burned we had to start over. It took years of hard work and tenacity but we got it up and running again. At least until a few years later when we were woke up in the middle of the night from the sound of another fire. We had just built and moved into a new house. but as a result of the loss we could no longer sustain the payments so we had to move ourselves and our three children out of the house and into a small well used mobile home. Wisdom prevailed so before rebuilding again we relocated the business to an insurable location. We are people with a strong faith in God and have always found blessings in our adversities. We are always willing to share about the good things that came out of our adversities and are looking forward to where this latest adventure is going to take us and who we will get to know along the way. One of my favorite verses from the bible is, Romans 8:28  “And we know all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose” and so our plan will always be to put our faith in God, pray, and appreciate the blessings we have”.        Since the 2008 crash we started a new company called Eclipse Rover and have been able to send our products all over the world. Our latest enterprise Genesis Biochar has been an exciting adventure. It has been very interesting and fulfilling learning about biochar and developing the company. Biochar is one of this century’s most exciting new fields of research, with findings and practical implementations increasing exponentially every year so having the privilege of being part of something that can impact our world is a thrill.
