About the Farm
Background
Located in the heart of Texas hill country, the ranch has established itself as a producer of Piedmontese beef, a breed recognized by the American Heart Association for its heart-healthy qualities. Over the years, the ranch has expanded its offerings to include pasture-raised goats, pigs, and free-range eggs.
Practices
The ranch employs management-intensive grazing using grazing cells, a method that promotes sustainable agriculture by rotating livestock to optimize pasture health. The Piedmontese beef is known for its low fat and low cholesterol content, and the meat is processed in vacuum-sealed packaging at a USDA-inspected plant in Johnson City, Texas, ensuring extended freezer shelf life.
The Rest
Visitors can take tours and receive instruction on sustainable agriculture practices. The ranch offers beef by the cut, quarter, or whole calf, tailored to customer specifications.
