The Sonoma Gravenstein ripens in late July, making it one of the first apples in North America ready for market. It is a squat, irregularly shaped apple with a very short stem that comes in a variety of colors. The Gravenstein is known for its all-purpose versatility as a terrific eating, sauce and pie apple. The apple has a crisp and juicy texture and a flavor that is aromatic and full of old-fashioned, sweet and tart flavor. Gravensteins are in danger of becoming broadly extinct because of many reasons, the most observable of which is their difficulty to harvest. The apples have short stems and the trees produce ripe apples at different times throughout the harvest season. There are only six commercial growers remaining in Sonoma Co

Cattleana Ranch has been developed as an environmentally sustainable grazing operation. We bring to you clover finished beef, pastured chickens, pork, and lamb. Our beef animals are not stressed by the competition of feed lot operations or force fed corn. Instead, they enjoy a serene, peaceful life on lush green pastures of clover and grass. In the Winter months they continue to enjoy the pasture and are fed the same grasses retained from the Summer fields.
