From pasture to plate, we are ranching to regenerate.
Our Story
“It all begins with soil. All life begins there, and returns to it to be born again. The greatest filter of all time, it cleans, restores, and renews. It is the last frontier, home to denizens of the dirt turning inert to organic, simple chemistry to abundant life. We care for the soil because it is all that we are.” - Dana Wilson
Chantilly Ranch is a soil ranch. We farm the soil and tend to the grasses, forbs, fungus, and micro flora and fauna that grow there. We raise animals on our pastures that eat the most nutrient dense forage possible. They turn sunlight into protein while living lives on the country side that resemble that of their wild ancestors.
Chantilly Ranch is a three generation working ranch. Parents, children and grandchildren all participate in the activities on the ranch. All activities are designed within the principles of Regenerative Agriculture and work toward soil regeneration.
Our mission is to manage the land in a way that regenerates the water, mineral, and energy cycle, allows the animals to live healthy, happy lives and creates positive relationships with the community.
