Your Farmers
Jill Nelson
The Nelson Ranch has been providing quality meat to our community for 150 years. We raise All-Natural grass fed cattle free of additives, chemicals, antibiotics, and growth hormones. All of our cattle are born on the prairies of South Thurston County in the spring and range free on our acreage. Since all our animals are born on the farm, you are assured of the source and safety of your beef.
We believe in being responsible stewards of the land and using sustainable, humane methods. Therefore, we do "rotational grazing" which not only allows us to maintain healthy pastures but also allows our cattle to graze on the most nutrient rich part of the grass. Since we are on the banks of the Deschutes River, the yearly flooding of our fields ensures an endless supply of natural minerals and nutrient rich soil. We then feed the cattle the hay during the winter months.
Our family-owned farm is about ten miles south of Olympia and one of the oldest ranches in the county still owned by the original family. We have dedicated ourselves to providing our customers with the most wholesome, best tasting beef available. We are committed to sustainable farming practices and providing our community with a locally grown, quality product. This has been a tradition in the family for five generations and we hope that you enjoy it too.
You can buy individual cuts, a quarter, or a half of beef. Buyers who purchase a quarter will receive approximately 150 pounds of beef—a mixture of steaks, hamburger, roasts, and stew meat.
We are happy to give farm tours for people interested in our methods and products. Please call or e-mail first to be sure we are home. Please visit our website for current prices and ordering information.
