Square Mile Ranch

Our aim at Square Mile Ranch isn’t to tell you a story 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 connection, it is to 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 connect - ultimately with you - but starting with the ground under our feet. It is about truth and place and what makes something just and beautiful. It is about imagination, nourishment and reciprocation. It is about the outer and inner landscape, the seen and the unseen, sky and root, culture and soil, mind and heart. It is about abiding in and living in “some chosen and cherished small place.” To know and love that place.⁣

It is also about returning self-worth to our farmers by allowing them to deeply care for something, not forcing them to extract from it or pressure them to make it into something more than it already is. It is about valuing one ranchers' knowledge of one creekbed over the invention of new tech. It is about the actual stock that feed us and keep our air and water clean - livestock and their microbes - not market stock. The world will be fed through functioning ecosystems, not through manipulating parts of the system. It is about a redistribution of wealth and meaning, and of not being indifferent to our sources.⁣

At Square Mile Ranch we are not interested in being on a shelf in every store across America. We are not interested in endless growth. At heart, we want to return value to those who work with their hands. We want to grow an ecologically and socially responsible business. The seemingly inescapable reality that one must monetize not only their passions, but the world's stored energy in turn, is not an easy paradigm to shake. We are going to dream big but think small and close to the heart, and see if we can’t do our part to redefine this beast. ⁣
