Gene and Sharon Pond
Pond's Pierre Lake Valley Ranch is owned and operated by Gene and Sharon Pond and located in the timbered mountains of Northeast Washington, 100 miles north of Spokane. Settled by Gene's father shortly after his discharge from the military following World War I, this operation is rich in heritage and will soon be a Century Farm. The ranch consists of 400 acres of deeded land and approximately 5000 acres of leased mountain rangeland.
We are in complete disagreement with the trend of emphasizing more production through chemicals and hybridization techniques. Both our cowherd and the grazing lands remain free from the influence of modern agriculture as an all-natural, grassfed business.
Though Gene and his father tried using fertilizers on a limited scale after they first became available, the land that was fertilized has been chemical-free for decades. The hay that we feed during the winter snow season is also grown without chemicals.
The cowherd retains its uniqueness by keeping its roots in genetics as purebred Herefords sourced from the 1960s and early 1970s. Emphasis has long been placed on having animals that will benefit and improve the land. The combination of environment and genetics blend to create a healthy and flavorful product.
Farm-slaughtered, preordered beef product is available in the late summer through fall, with one half of a beef required as a minimum purchase. Select USDA inspected cuts and specialty items, such as jerky and sausages, are available throughout the year. Call for current prices and specials. All orders are filled FOB at Chewelah, WA and complete satisfaction is guaranteed.
