Welcome to Raised & Grazed Ranch!

We are a small family owned and operated agricultural business offering natural resource consulting services, targeted grazing options, and home-grown farm products! Raised & Grazed Ranch is a project of our LLC, Ecological Ag Management.

We love our grazing animals and treat them like family! They have a pretty cozy set up on the home site, but they are an adventurous bunch and love exploring (and eating) on new pastures! When not romping around offsite under the watchful eyes of our amazing Livestock Guardian Dogs , our “flerd” produces meat, milk, and wool products that we turn into goodies to share with y’all! We also grow a few select fruits, flowers, herbs, and veggies for sale at our little farm stand and online.

Small ruminant livestock like sheep and goats have been used to naturally manage lands in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner for a millennia! Whether its for fire fuel reduction, weed control, soil restoration, or water quality improvement, they can help!

Who
Are We?!

We are Amber and Emanuel (Ema) and we love living in right relations with the land. And we couldn’t do it without our trusty “flerd”! What is a “flerd”? Well it’s a combination of a flock and heard of course! Click below to learn more.

Concerns about soil health or water quality, we got you!

Have a blackberry problem you don’t feel like hacking away at, we will bring the flerd!

Our robust flerd is well suited for any landscape because amongst them, they target a mixture of vegetation types and they can handle steep hills, dense brush, flashy fuels, and hard to access areas that machines and humans don’t want to deal with!
