About Us

We are a small family owned ranching operation that is located just north of Providence Village, Texas. We pasture raise both sheep and cattle. Grazing space takes up most of our small piece of land. However, in addition to ranching, just as did small ranchers in this area in the past, we also grow and/or produce other foodstuffs to complement our meats. So, we have small garden areas on the property where we raise vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices, and even some things you might not regularly think to eat such as edible flowers and cacti.

Our goal is to bring interesting and healthy foods to both our table and yours. We also hope to help you experience some of the historical ranching, farming, and even eating practices of our area. We use what we produce ourselves, and we sell our excess to the general public. We also both grow and prepare some things to order for you. Because we are a very small operation, we often have limited inventory of most of the things that we sell.

So, we focus on producing foods that are highly compatible with our local growing environment. While we do not object to natural cross breeding methods as a way to produce a better food product, we do reject the idea that bio-engineering our food sources at the DNA level (commonly referred to as GMO) can produce something that is somehow more healthy for us than what is available to us through natural development. We also object to the idea of stripping foods of nutrients and then replacing what has been stripped away with other nutrients. In short, we believe that our Creator designed our food sources to meet our needs perfectly. So, through use of tried and true ranching and farming methods that have been used to grow those perfectly designed foods, we believe that we are producing the foods that are in alignment with the things our bodies typically need.

We work hard to ensure that we are raising our livestock and growing our plants in environments that are natural for our area. When we purchase products to use in the foods we produce for you, we do our best to use items that have been minimally processed. And, when we fertillize, control for pests, and/or amend our soils, we use natural products and/or products that have been approved for organic use whenever possible.

In addition to bringing you the most nutritious naturally grown foods that we can, we also believe that food should be an attractive central part of many of your social occasions. Whether you are hosting a big gathering or just a sweet little family night dinner, we think your table should boast foods that are attractive and maybe even a little fun. So, we focus on growing and producing things that you will probably not find in just any local grocery store. By focusing on what has been historically raised in our area, we are able to bring some interest to your dining experiences with pastured meats, heirloom vegetables, savory herbs, and even some remarkable foodstuffs that you might not think to eat on a regular basis such as cacti and edible flowers. In our Ranch Recipes section, you will find, free to you, suggestions and recipes for how to use some of the things we produce.

And finally, we believe that food should be used to nourish our bodies and to help keep our bodies healthy. So while we are neither nutritionists nor medical professionals, we are always happy to help you get information about the potential health benefits of all of the items we produce. We can not advise you ourselves, but we will help you find sources of information that will help you understand the connections between the foods we eat and our health.

• Our grass fed beef comes mostly from our black angus cattle, but we also have some angus/belted galloway mixes. Both of these cattle breeds produce meat that is very high in healthy omega3's when they are grass fed, as are ours.



• Our pastured lamb is from our painted desert sheep. The meat tends to have a milder flavor with less of the flavor that is often associated with mutton instead of lamb.



• Our yard bird poultry are currently exclusively guinea fowl. We do not currently breed our guineas for meat, but we have plans to do so in the future.

• Our year round produce is especially important to maintaining healthy nutrient intake during times of the year when our seasonal produce is simply not available such as in the early part of the growing season when our seasonal produce is still only tiny baby plants. Our year round produce includes all items that can be grown inside our grow room and harvested year round such as, among other items, micro-greens and micro-herbs which are eaten as baby plants among other items. If you would like to know more about our grow room operation, please take a virtual tour of our Year Round Fresh produce.



• Our seasonal produce is grown in areas that we call our Ranch Gardens where we grow fresh vegetables, fruits, cacti, edible flowers, and herbs and spices. We do not currently "green house", so our seasonal fresh produce is grown at the optimal time of year to produce happy healthy plants in this area. That means the produce from those plants is only available when it is in season or shortly thereafter. Take a virtual tour of our Ranch Gardens to see what we grow seasonally and to learn when you might expect it to be available for sale.



• Our remarkable foodstuff is well, pretty remarkable. It is remarkable because it is things that you may not normally think of eating but that has long been enjoyed as foodstuff by people in our area. We consider our remarkable food stuff to include things like edible flowers, fresh herbs and spices, and even things like cacti and a few other "desert plants" that grow well in this part of Texas.
