Our Vision
Our vision is to build deep topsoil and healthy grassland in Southern California and provide you and your family with regenerative, grass-fed, grass-finished beef. Our role is to facilitate the natural, symbiotic relationship between the land and cattle to restore health to the soil and ultimately—you! Healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals, healthy humans! We take great pride in our work and are honored to provide you and your family with sustenance and nutrition.

Our Mission
We aim to provide our community with the healthiest and tastiest grass-fed protein through conscious land management, positive animal welfare, and regenerative agricultural practices.
What We Believe
-
No Grain
Cows did not evolve to live on grain. Grain requires a completely different set of enzymes for digestion and a completely different digestive process to unlock the nutrients contained inside the grain.
-
No Chemicals
We don’t use any pesticides or herbicides on our pastures. Both pesticides and herbicides have been shown to kill soil life.
-
No Tillage
We do not till any of our land to plant crops or have improved pastures. Tillage destroys soil structure and oxidizes organic matter.
-
Individually graded beef
We work closely with our processors to individually select only the highest quality beef from the best animals. We are also working on our breeding program, introducing breeds like the Corriente and Mashona to create a custom animal that finishes well on grass and is adpated to the mediterranean climate.
-
Regenerative Grazing
We mimic nature with our grazing and move cows frequently from paddock to paddock, so we don’t over graze or over rest certain areas of the ranch. We try to graze at the highest densities possible for the shortest amount of time possible and allow for recoveries up to a year long.
-
Animal Welfare
We practice "Bud Williams" style low stress livestock handling techniques on the ranch. We don’t use cattle prods and we minimize yelling and quick movements which stress cows out. Our processing partner One World Beef in Brawley, CA has pens and infrastructure designed by Temple Grandin, the godmother of low stress livestock processing plants.
