We are The Reed’s

In January of 2019, we bought our property. Seth wanted land, and I wanted a house to host. We couldn’t really afford both at the same time, so we bought a fixer upper. We were living in my great grandmother’s house at the time, so we were able to work on the house without living there which was a blessing and made renovations a tad easier. We gutted the house and little by little, we have made our house into our dream home. We cleared some timber for financial reasons, but didn’t really have plans to do anything with the land at the time.

In 2021, we knew we needed to be more self-sufficient, and we had the land and the work ethic to make it happen. With both of us coming from a law enforcement background, we knew that we needed a way to provide for ourselves and our family. We rented machinery, and my dad grubbed all the stumps in the pasture we had cleared. We spent hours and hours hand picking rocks, and then a friend planted the pasture for us. Standing back and watching the progress of the pasture after the many hours spent on it was so rewarding.

After doing our research, we decided that we were going to start a farm and make this lifestyle a business. We started with 11 laying hens that Seth’s parents gave us and two pigs. We’d sell eggs to family and friends, and we processed the pigs ourselves for us and our families. As our big pasture was developing, we had a few smaller fields that were ready to be put to use. Seth and I always ate a lot of chicken... You’re not going to get 130 grams of protein everyday eating lettuce. So, Seth got to work on building chicken tractors, and we ordered Cornish cross birds. It was time to do this!

 2022 was our first official year official in business, and you’re probably wondering where the name Remington Ranch comes from. I am all about things having meaning. If I don’t make you cry when I give you a gift, I failed, in my opinion. I knew our business name had to mean something or else I didn’t want it. Seth and I spent so much time thinking of farm names. Remington was the first gun Seth ever owned, and it was gifted to him by his special uncle Robbie. Ranch just sounded good, ha-ha. Then we needed a logo. Seth and I sat down at the dining room table with paper and a pencil, and we decided we were going to draw a few logos that we had in mind, and then we’d show each other. When we were done, Seth showed me his drawing and I bawled my paper up and threw it away. I knew he had just created a masterpiece. Some people may look at our logo and think, why? You don’t have a big beef operation. Well, that’s ok because our logo depicts the future we have for our business. I am a dreamer, and I think big. Ask Seth what he expects anytime I say, “I’ve been thinking….” He knows some idea has come up and we’re growing in some kind of way, and he probably has to build something for it.

Our animals are raised on rotational grazing. We believe that providing fresh grass and new paddocks for our animals on a daily or weekly basis prevents the need for medication and vaccinations. We raise pasture raised chicken, turkey and eggs, pasture and forest raised pork, and grass-fed lamb. We are planning to be able to offer grass fed beef in the Spring of 2024.

During our time off we both enjoy spending time with our family, friends, and our fur babies Radar and K9 Knox, exercising, and being outside. We would love the opportunity to get to know you and provide clean food for you and your family.
