Grassfed Beef
At The Ranch, we
raise beef as natural as possible.
Calves nurse and stay with their mothers up to 10 months.
In turn this helps the calves build strong immune systems.
Research has shown that Grassfed beef is lower in saturated fat and has more vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and two health-promoting fats called omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid.
Icelandic Sheep are
one of the world’s oldest and purest breeds of sheep.
They have a great mild flavored meat and beautiful wool coat of
natural browns, tans, and cream colors.
Like all of our animals, we raise them on pasture.
We know you will
just love the taste of this lamb compared to any other!
Wool and wool
product from these beautiful sheep are also available.
UPDATE: FOR SALE: Beautifully tanned Lamb Hides. The long silky brushed wool is incredible.
Pastured Pork
We feed our
heirloom breed of pigs a natural diet of corn, hay, pasture grasses,
garden vegetables, and mineral.
We NEVER feed our pigs junk food like cookies, pizza, or any
other type of industrial food system waste
Our
Pork has given us very happy and loyal customers who are not afraid to
voice that they will never go back to store-bought pork again!
They never knew pork tasted this good!
Pastured Meat Chickens &
"Golden"
Eggs
All of our chickens
are pastured during the growing season.
Our
truly Free Range egg-laying chickens follow the beef through the
pastures, snacking on nutritious grass and insects in addition to their
feed. You will notice that
our eggs have a deep orange/gold colored yolk which is representative of
the chicken’s nutritionally rich diet.
