Charlotte Kilcher

Otto's Wife

Otto's wife of over 20 years, Charlotte is originally from Northern California.

Looking for adventure, this pioneer-minded woman set out for Alaska in 1978 to work as a wildlife biologist. The Exxon Valdez oil spill in Southern Alaska brought Charlotte and Otto together in an effort to help clean up the environmental disaster.

After falling in love, Charlotte and Otto embarked on a new adventure together: building a family and life on the homestead.

Otto calls her his "hippy chick from Berkeley."

A vegetarian since the age of 13, Charlotte was forced to adapt to life on the homestead where butchering cattle and other animals was the norm. Appreciating the life the Kilchers lead, she focuses her time and energy in the garden to ensure her family's survival through the winters.
