There’s a new CSA in town, and this one gets you 10 pounds of locally raised beef every month this summer.
The Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch, run by the Gill family, is currently taking sign-ups for its new program. The CSA will offer a mix of ground and stew cuts and higher-end cuts such as steaks in each monthly allotment (the beef will come frozen). Each CSA will include recipes and cooking tips for the different cuts.
The cost is $500, and can be paid in full May 1st or in installments. For questions or more information call or email nikki@jhherefordranch.com (307) 734-8624 or (307) 413-4321.
Nicole Gill, who is heading up this new program, said she’s been interested in doing something on her family’s ranch since she was 18 and just going off to college.
Last year she took the Start Up Institute, wrote a business plan and proposed the idea to her father. While the Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch has always had a cow-calf operation (with the exception of a few years when the heard was wiped out because of brucellosis), this is the first time they have entered the local beef business.
Spots are limited, so it’s best to secure yours’ immediately.
The Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch is a fifth generation family owned and operated Hereford cattle ranch. Gill’s great-grandfather, Robert Bruce Porter, started the Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch in the 1930s on what is now known as Dog Creek Ranch, in the Snake River Canyon. A few years after Porter purchased his first herd of Hereford cattle, he moved them to the current location on South Park Loop Road.
