Local ranchers
The beef industry in the United States has been around for centuries, but within the last 60 years we have seen a transformation away from a locally raised system and into a centralized and industrialized system. We want to be a part of the change that brings back our local food and puts power back in the hands of the ranchers and farmers.
We believe in building back the community, the soil and ranching & farming families. We want to restore the connection between the buyer and the grower of food.
Sourcing food for our local communities from our local communities is the cornerstone of what we look to achieve.
There will be a rotating program of different ranches and farms providing their products and we thoroughly vet each and every one to ensure they live up to the standard we all should expect in our food.

Outlaw Valley Ranch and the Karol family is committed to the regenerative effects that grazing animals have on rangeland. They believe that grazing has the ability to reduce greenhouse gasses by sequestering carbon and improve the soil, all while providing healthy nutrient-dense meat for humans.
