A look into our "why"

Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, our family yearned for a deeper connection to our food and a healthier lifestyle. We were troubled by the practices of modern industrial farming, where animals are often confined to cramped, artificial environments and subjected to a diet of unnatural additives. We questioned the quality of the meat we were consuming and the ethical implications of these practices.​These concerns sparked the birth of Kuma Tako Ranch, our family's commitment to providing ethically raised, pasture-fed pork and poultry to our local community. We believe that animals deserve to roam freely in spacious pastures and fields, enjoying a natural diet that promotes their well-being. We are passionate about producing high-quality meat that is not only delicious but also raised in a way that aligns with our values.​Our journey began with a simple question: Why would a couple of city slickers decide to raise their own food? The answer lies in our desire for transparency, sustainability, and ethical practices in the food industry. We want to know what goes into our food supply, ensuring that the animal protein we consume is raised with respect for the animals and the environment.​As our family grows, we take pride in establishing our roots in Ashford, Washington. We are excited to share our passion for pasture-raised meat with our neighbors and contribute to a healthier, more conscious approach to food production. Join us on this journey as we redefine the standards for raising and consuming animal protein.
