Our Executive Chef and Master Gardener collaborate on seasonal menus by orchestrating harvests throughout the year to ensure ingredients are sent to the kitchen at their peak, providing guests with the freshest, most flavorful dining experience. This also ensures the nutritional value of each fruit, vegetable and herb is at its best to reap maximum benefits of these powerful plants.

In addition to producing more than 2,000 pounds of produce each month, they tend to over 100 different plant species including:
We are committed to creating a better planet with every-day efforts at The Ranch. Our team is dedicated to ongoing reviews and exploration of new methods to improve our sustainability practices. Whether it’s reusing 100% of our grey water, removing litter and maintaining our local trails, or developing healthy soil in the garden, The Ranch will continue to play our part to help the planet and educate guests on how they can practice sustainability at home.
Our animals play a crucial part in cultivating the garden. From pollinating our plants to pest control to mental health support for the team and guests, our four and two-legged friends also assist with waste management. They enjoy nibbling on scraps from the garden while the rest gets added to composting tumblers and our worm beds to achieve a closed loop system.
Our famous Ranch goats are the highlight of the garden tour. In addition to helping create a closed system, we encourage our guests to interact with them throughout the week for an additional dose of healing energy.
The newest addition to the garden team, our Turkish Kangal pups take their job of keeping our goats safe from the surrounding wildlife very seriously.
Chickens roam and fertilize soil by scratching, pecking and consuming the remnants of plants and bugs to prepare the beds for the next season.
Our personal rodent patrol, the cats will stay with the team all day, watching the garden so our harvest is safe from pests without the use of poisons.
Our brush-clearing goat herd grazes our land, clearing trees and grass and fertilizing the soil.
