Our Story
From a Back Porch to a Bunch of Warehouses

What happens when an engineering-loving mom and her business-minded husband start dreaming big in 1985? You get Timberdoodle—a family-run homeschool company that has grown from small roots to wide-reaching impact, nestled in the same corner of the Pacific Northwest where it all began. Thanks to God's grace, a whole lot of grit, and a passion for hands-on learning, Timberdoodle now serves families across the globe—still family-owned, still focused on helping homeschoolers thrive, and still just as enthusiastic about thinking skills as ever.

How did an engineering mom and her entrepreneur husband launch one of the most innovative homeschool companies ever?

Timberdoodle is a true testament to the grace of God and the dedication of family. What started as a humble back-porch venture in 1985 has developed into a thriving business with multiple warehouses and an office building on the original site. The fact that Timberdoodle remains family-owned and operated reflects its unwavering commitment to serving the homeschool community. The team at Timberdoodle takes great pride in their work, and it shows in the quality of the products they offer.

Where Did the Name Timberdoodle Come From?

Back in the early days, newlyweds Dan and Deb planned to raise Golden Retrievers and even got a business license under the name Timberdoodle—a quirky nickname for a game bird. Plans changed (dogs out, homeschool supplies in), but the name stuck—partly to save money and partly because Timberdoodle was just too fun to let go. It's the perfect fit: distinctive, memorable, and just a little unexpected—just like our products.
