Getting started~

Have you ever had an opportunity to make a big change that would ultimately be good for you and your family, but you were sure that it would have its difficulties and challenges?

That's exactly where Seth and I were 12 years ago, when we had the opportunity to move up the road with our three young children and purchase the neighboring ranch.

I can remember my dear friend and one of the ranch owners, (then in her late 80's), say to me, " Raini, you folks are doing just what we did years ago...you're making a big change by taking your family and moving up the road to buy more land." She went on to say, " When we did it, I knew it would be difficult and I wondered how we would manage it, but we made it, and so will you folks."

Peeking Outside the box

Since then, there have been many challenges and we've bumped into walls and stepped on our own feet a few times. In those times, I would often remember her words and we just put our heads together and started looking outside the box a little more. We learned from friends, and others, more experienced than we were, every chance we could get...and yes, read every book applicable to what we were doing.

From the start, we knew that we wanted to raise animals that would provide healthy foods for our family and others. We had also began to see some amazing responses in our cattle to herbal mineral supplementation through plants, kelp and sea salt.

Because of our combined passions for healthy eating and raising animals, along with the enormous benefits we had seen in our own family, Seth and I wanted to begin to provide quality foods with those same benefits for others.

We started with cattle, but soon realized that our focus needed to be placed on healthy soil, so we changed things up a bit. Healthy soil grows healthy herbs and grasses. Those plants provide health for the animals and when those animals are healthy, they make healthy food!

We soon began to add other animals including hogs, sheep, chickens and dairy cows and every addition brought improvement to our land, soils and the quality of the foods we produce.

This is what we're passionate about~

There have been many things tried and failed along the way, and we'll be the first to admit that we will always be learning, growing and needing to improve. I think we really love the challenge in that. It keeps us from growing stagnant.

Along this journey, Seth and I have watched our three children, Liam, Charise and Rhian grow in strength, creativity and great passion for raising healthy food for you. They each bring something unique to the ranch with their individual gifts and we truly couldn't do it without them. We hope you get the chance to meet them some time!

Now as our children have grown and are such a huge part of what we are doing, we continue to see the energy and health from what eating well can do for you. We feel honored that you have trusted us with the important task of raising healing foods for you and your loved ones.

THANK YOU...

It has truly touched our hearts to hear stories from you telling of health issues that have been overcome or eased through eating healthy meats and dairy. Your shared stories have taught us much and have been humbling, to say the least. We look forward to serving you into the future.
