Rainbow Ranch Farms

This morning all the water pipes are frozen.

It snowed on and off all day yesterday and the chickens, turkeys, cattle and pigs were ranging over the property to fertilize and turn the soil, as needed.

We have areas of early grasses growing naturally, and the cattle were kind to mow it down.

The pigs were rooting and turning the moist soil, this is very helpful, to turn and ammend our soil, naturally.

Today we are blessed to have visitors from Northern California, they operate a well established farm and would like to expand their farming operation to growing fresh poultry, to supply local and organic poultry within their community.

We are so pleased to offer our consultation services to the betterment of communities, and to promote locally grown, all natural foods. We enjoy participating in the sprouting of new and developing farms throughout California, it helps Californians with getting sustainably grown, high quality foods, lowers the carbon footprint, preserves old fashioned farming traditions and keeps our economic flow steady.

Here at Rainbow Ranch Farms, our farming traditions are simple, we do not anticipate being affected by the imbalance of our governments economic turmoil, anytime soon. We work very hard to keep our costs low, growing as much food as we can in 2011 for our farm members and our livestock, thus limiting overall costs.

Our cattle, sheep and lambs on pasture are sustainably and naturally grown on lush green pastures along the California coastline, thus establishing jobs for ranchers, land managers, pasture managers, haulers, organic and heirloom seed manufacturers, farm hands and so many more. 

We are making sustainable improvements to our chick brooding program to lower the cost of electricity and propane. Thank you! to our farming consultant, for thinking outside the box.
