If you are what you eat, then what did your meat eat?

 Farm-direct meats

We desire to raise better meat by focusing on a healthier diet for the animals. If you are what you eat, then what did your meat eat? Much of the commercial hog feed available today is a heavily processed product at the whims of the worldwide commodity market. By growing, grinding, and mixing our own custom ration we are able to ensure that “quality in” will equal “quality out”. The resulting meat is richly flavored, nutrient-dense, and tastes like real food.

We started selling meats in 2010 through a CSA model as a way to share the flavorful, healthy meats we raised for ourselves with a wider audience. Today we are grateful to the many households that partake in quarterly Simple Stock Up Days to put meat on their tables year-round.


The Ranchers

Hey! We’re Nathan and Katia and we are the public faces of Double F Ranch. But to say we do it alone would be flawed; the “Community Support” of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is the foundation of our operation and we could not do it without our customers, our friends, and our family. Thank you for being here.

 

 The Ranch

Horse-drawn wheat harvest at Double F Ranch, 1920s

Situated in the high desert of Central Oregon, Double F Ranch has been farmed by the Forman family for over a hundred years. Homesteaded in 1902 by Frank M. Forman, today the ranch is managed by the 4th and 5th generations of the family.

We take tremendous pride in our long-term stewardship of this place. Originally a dryland wheat farm, today our diversified ranch raises small grains and specialty crops, runs a herd of beef cattle, and sells meat directly to the consumer through our Simple Stock Up Days.
