Ryan and Sarah Reeber have such an interesting story! They both are from different parts of the country, met, started growing food in California, and now have recently began selling meet here in Washington County, Kentucky! How they love and care for their animals so that you can purchase the best product for your family is such a fantastic process. Not only do they sell great meat, they are so friendly, which we know is a common characteristic of everyone in our area!
