Our animals are moved across mountain pastures, giving the land time to rest. This prevents overgrazing, encourages native plants, and supports the health of the soil and wildlife.

Healthy soil is the foundation of everything we do. By managing grazing carefully, we help improve soil structure, water retention, and plant diversity—benefiting life above and below the ground.

Our livestock are protected by guardian dogs who keep predators at bay without harming wildlife. These dogs are an essential part of keeping our animals safe while maintaining the natural balance.

We focus on preventative care to minimize the use of antibiotics and dewormers. By respecting the natural instincts of our animals, we ensure their health and well-being without unnecessary intervention.

Why Wild Things Ranch?

Our lambs graze rugged mountain pastures, and our pigs are rotated through the same fields, living the way they’ re meant to.

No antibiotics. No hormones. Just real, honest food.

We raise animals in a way that keeps the land healthy and wild— building soil and supporting wildlife.

We respect the land, care for the animals, and take pride in the honest work it takes to raise real food.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a combination of factors. Healthy animals raised on natural diets are key, but the breed and genetics of our Icelandic sheep and pasture-raised pigs also play an important role. Together with rotational grazing and sustainable practices, this ensures exceptional flavor that stands out from conventional meat.

While we don’t currently offer visits, we share updates and stories about what we’re doing through our website and social media. Stay tuned for any future opportunities to connect in person.
