Fall is here and the colder temps mean I want nothing but warm and comforting meals pretty much exclusively. This time of year is also when I love to cook with pork; it’s fantastic for low and slow cooking and pairs really well with fall veggies and even fruit. Here are my current favorite pork […]
This post has been rattling around in my head for quite some time now. It’s no secret or surprise that when it comes to shopping for meat I am always in favor of supporting local ranchers at the source but I know that doing so does come at a premium compared to just stopping by […]
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 […]

It has taken a lot of confidence for me to write those two words. I don’t know why but there was a mental hiccup I had been feeling that can only be described as feeling like a failure. I know it wasn’t right but I had so much of the identity of the story we […]

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 […]

Your family won’t want to ever eat anything else. At least mine doesn’t! Between this and my homemade pizza, the kids have been ruined for others! My favorite flour to use is a locally milled and grown flour from Cairnspring Mills in Burlington. I might be partial to their Skagit Valley grown wheat but its […]

I did the math 9 times. I rewrote this post 4 more. I was sure I was wrong. But, this past week, after shipping out boxes for the day right here in the ranch store, I took a closer look at our profit/loss and realized we just couldn’t absorb the increase cost of production like […]
