Excite Your Senses' as we stroll down the concrete drive and I explain the importance and management of productive pastures. The ranch manages the pastures with a rotational grazing system, so keep your eye out for the herd.

We want visitors to experience the sights and smells of the farm while discussing the cattles health, and nutrient requirements

There are many photo opportunities. In addition, you will see many conservation practices used to protect the farms resources, water quality and environment.

The private tour of the ranch with Brian was a special treat. The kids (and we) loved learning about how they raise their cattle. The owners are conscientious and care for the animals well. Brian was an absolute pleasure as a tour guide. The kids loved going through the cattle chute, feeding the chickens, and seeing the cattle eat. This is a beautiful property. I almost wish I had an RV so I could stay here in a peaceful setting and catch fish in the ponds. This is a fabulous family activity if you are in the area.

This was a great way to spend the morning. The ranch is beautiful. We did the 1.5 hour educational tour. Charlie was informative and interesting. My kids are 12-14 and he kept their attention the whole time. We didn’t know anything about about cattle before going, but we learned a lot. We bought a large tenderloin from the store that was amazing!

We enjoyed the ranch . Charlie was great , informative, nice and knowledgeable. Beautiful scenery around the ranch. Hopefully if we come back next year we could eat and try to meat there, since now because of the COVID-19 we could not do on our tour.
