Home is where the herd is…

We are a fourth generation, mixed ranch in Tawatinaw, AB, and run a grain/cow-calf operation.

The phrase “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”, is how we feel every day (well, unless the cows get out!). There is no better office view than that of our pastures!

Turning conventional farming on it’s head, we pride ourselves on our animal and environmental stewardship, and are striving for a fully regenerative ranching operation. We are proud to offer farm-fresh, home-raised, locally sourced beef products to our surrounding communities.

Community Highlight… Tawatinaw, AB

I bet many of you have never heard of our little hamlet, which is situated about an hour North of Edmonton, in between Westlock and Athabasca. Tawatinaw is full of rolling hills and beautiful countryside. Oh, and did we mention we have a ski hill (complete with a Freestyle Club), wedding/retreat venues and a 12,500 sq.ft. competitive level Gymnastics Centre too?! A hidden gem, worth checking out for sure. With three very avid skiers in our family, you will find us at the hill most weekends throughout the winter months!
