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 […]
After a year of learning, growing and finding places where I can improve, I made the decision to completely restructure Farm School this year! Over and over, the requests poured after the year was over with a preference to do more hands on and less “formal” style. And I think, as parents, you’re really going […]
To be really honest with you, up until the first guests arrived, I had this pit in my stomach that it wouldn’t be as good as it had been. We had thought of every last detail and double checked the guest list. We had poured over the menus while Chef Josh foraged for berries and […]
Our Farm to Table Dinners are next level. From the food to the atmosphere, everyone raves about the evening spent at the farm. We are honored and so very grateful to have our Farm Club & Farm School members here for another one of our favorite evenings under the orchard. Want a recap? Check out […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thank you for helping us reduce waste and keep our shipping costs down! When you’ve returned 10 boxes, email us and we’ll send you $100 worth of meat in your next box! Our liners are custom made and we would love to continue to reuse the one you have received. Below are instructions to mail […]
We’re looking for the right individual to join our team as a Ranch Hand Intern. The right person for our crew is a quick learner, pays attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. The rest of it, we can teach. Experience with livestock is a plus. Must be willing to work in all weather, […]
After a lot of mistakes and frustration on our part, we decided to revamp our box return program and are grateful for those who continue to help us recycle our custom shipping liners. This decision didn’t come lightly but, I have come to realize my limits and think this will help a lot. Your continual […]
