The Brazos Locavores have linked up with the Brazos Valley ' Market's
newest vendor -Wild Type Ranch - who made their debut at the market
during our October 31 Halloween Celebration.
Wild Type Ranch produces sustainably-raised beef and veal in Cameron,
TX, about an hour north of Bryan and distributes throughout Central
Texas through a variety of farmers' markets and subscriptions to
various drop-off locations.
Founded in 2005, Wild Type Ranch is composed of an amazing 333 acres,
but what they pride themselves on is quality. "The founding principle
of Wild Type Ranch is respect for all life. We believe in responsible
stewardship of the animals, the land, and the world which sustains
us."
The grand tour will include a wagon ride through the pasture, views of
newborn calves (due in the weeks before our trip), the opportunity to
hand feed "cow candy" to some of the pasture residents,Brazos Valley
Farmers' Market a presentation on breeding and maintaining healthy
cows, then back to the workshop for questions and refreshments
(including sample of their beef products, hot off the fire).
NOTE to VEG*Ns: Even if you're not a meat eater (I'm not either), this
is a great opportunity to enjoy fresh air, a wagon ride through the
country, and the magic of newborns (again, some of the momma cows are
due to give birth in the weeks before our arrival...)
Excited? Here's the scoop:
Who: Everyone! The trip (as always) is free and don't forget to bring
the kids!
What: December Field trip to Wild Type Ranch
When: Sunday, December 13 (1PM - 5PM)
Where: Meet-up at Brazos Natural Foods (4303 South Texas Ave) and
carpool out to the farm
RSVP: to Heather at brazosl...@gmail.com by Wednesday, December
9th so that I can print enough driving directions and alert the farm
to the number of visitors.
For more information on the farm, visit their website: http://www.wildtyperanch.com/
See you there!

Wow, you got someone to commit to December! I am impressed! Sounds like a neat tour, I'll try to get Seth to join us.
Are you enjoying your pecans? We are. Just have to be careful not to crunch down on a bit of shell. I read on your blog about your pepper harvest - and thought of you when I had an armful myself this morning! I think I'm gonna need to make some room in the freezer...!
Hope you're well,
Andrea
