Located on 140 acres of Ozark farm land, the ranch consists of beef cows, horses, chickens and a myriad of other animals. We also dabble in sustainable gardening, a vineyard and music making.
In 2010 we moved back home from the great northwest and joined the Dodson family empire in southwest Missouri. Along with a herd of Angus beef cattle, the farm supports four horses and three ponies, which we use for pleasure, trail riding and lessons.
Currently our horse herd consists of two fox trotters, one fox trotter / Tennessee walker, one not-so-wild mustang from Wyoming, one halflinger and two loveable ponies.
Our farm is a work in progress as we renovate the house and property and begin to learn more about sustainable gardening (vegetables, berries, and fruit trees) and ranch management.
Please contact us if you are interested in visiting our farm.
