Dakota Graz’d

Owned and operated by Jed and Melissa Rider, this family-run farm is located in northwestern North Dakota, just north of Alexander. The Rider Ranch includes land that has been in Melissa's family since the 1950s, and much of the additional land used for raising cattle is rented. The farm is known for producing high-quality, nutritious beef and has a retail meat license allowing them to sell their products by the cut, quarter, half, or whole. They market their beef directly at the ranch and at local farmers markets in Williston and Watford City.

The Rider Ranch is deeply committed to the philosophy that healthy humans start with healthy soil. They practice holistic management, focusing on improving soil health to grow healthy plants that feed healthy animals. This interconnected cycle is central to their farming approach, and they continually work to enhance it. Their beef is processed at a federally inspected facility, ensuring high standards of quality and safety.

Customers can find more information and place orders through their website or social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The Rider family, including their three boys Lane, Beau, and Garrett, are actively involved in the ranch operations and appreciate the support from their community.
