I can taste is all over again looking at these pictures. We are accidental farmers. We didn’t intend to raise livestock for a living. But, I had a passion for food and growing and raising our own. That passion turned into a major love of feeding others and branched out to us raising that quality […]
We knew we wanted to bring a quality ham to your dinner table for the Holidays and are so excited for these fresh, seasoned and lightly hickory smoked hams. Since our hams are not fully cooked, we wanted to ensure you had the best recipe for your Holiday meal. I know that holiday recipes often […]
When we first began raising livestock, the main reason was to feed our family. We wanted to know what was in our foods, where it came from and how it was raised. From birth to butcher, we wanted to know the process and connect deeper to our food source. We raised a giant veggie garden […]
A few months ago, my dear friend was sharing a youtube video on her struggles with her LGD’s & the solution she had found. I may or may not have shed a tear or two. You see, when we moved here Tuffy was so excited but we knew containing her to our property was going […]
Not many people know this about me but I used to be vegan. It’s a looooong story but aside from believing in a lot of the health claims surrounding plant based foods, I found myself being sucked into a lot of the rhetoric shared on social media and blogs regarding things like antibiotics in meat […]
I think that dry aging has become a bit of a buzzword lately. You commonly see it associated with steak and always with beef (I’ll get into why in this post!) and it usually commands a higher price tag, especially at high end steakhouses. But why? And what does it really mean? Let’s dive in: […]
In the midst of getting our poultry processing plant off the ground – here’s a behind the scenes look at us in the thick of it – I figured now would be a great time to share more about our poultry, why we keep them on pasture and how it makes for healthier birds and […]

If you’ve ever visited us here at the ranch you’ve more than likely seen (and definitely heard!) our Great Pyrenees, Tuffy. Tuffy is fiercely loyal to her people, larger than life, and we love her very much. But she’s not a pet. She’s our Livestock Guardian Dog, or LGD for short, and her role on […]
Remember not too long ago when eggs were making headlines multiple days in a row? I couldn’t help but feel grateful for our farm fresh supply but it got me thinking about how much of a luxury eggs can really be, especially during the winter months. Many people don’t realize it (especially since grocery stores […]
There’s nothing we love more than being able to fill our customer’s freezers with delicious and premium regeneratively-raised meats, straight from our ranch. In addition to offering our dry aged Angus beef and heritage pork by the cut, we’re also excited to give our customers the opportunity to purchase beef and pork shares, where they […]
It’s a question I get asked more often than anything else: Why do you shear your sheep? I’ll admit that this question used to bother me. There’s unfortunately quite a bit of misinformation out there surrounding the wool industry in particular and many assume that shearing is cruel and hurts the sheep in some way. […]
INGREDIENTS DIRECTIONS Prep: Don’t preheat the oven. The stew will be placed in the oven, and then you’ll turn it on. Make the stew: Add your veggies and garlic to a large dutch oven. Toss the lamb stew meat with the arrowroot powder, some salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tsp of thyme in […]
