Get To Know Our Team
Our Mission
Our work at Ramstead Ranch heals the broken food system by offering our customers a transparent look at how their healthy, pasture-raised meats were raised with kindness, in harmony with nature.
We believe everyone deserves food that nourishes their body and heals the planet.
Our Story
Our farm began with the intent to provide our family with clean, healthy meat to put on our table. We wanted to raise animals in a natural setting, free from the chemicals and environmental harms that are associated with the industrial food chain.
We've grown from a 2-acre backyard poultry operation to a 240-acre farm in the beautiful Pend Oreille valley in NE Washington state.
We rotate cattle and pigs across our pastures, mimicking the cycle and rhythms of nature, giving our animals an amazing quality of life while facilitating an abundant ecosystem.
We serve over 800 families across the Pacific Northwest and beyond by delivering the healthiest, most delicious meats we know how to raise.
Ramstead Ranch helps define the highest standard of regenerative agriculture.
We define regenerative agriculture as managing our farm in ways that improve the health of all components of the ecosystem by creating synergy and mimicking the diversity of nature.
We strive to be an excellent employer by:
• Offering good hours and fair wages, and empowering our employees.
• Systematizing tasks to make them efficient, simple, and easy to teach and complete.
• Organizing projects and tasks so that they can be used as teaching tools.
• Maintaining written agreements between Ramstead Ranch and all employees.
• Holding ourselves accountable through planning and follow-up.
We leverage our creative business plan to act as an inspiration by demonstrating success. This enables us to support others in charting a course for their own success in regenerative, profitable farming.
