Recipes From Maytag Mountain Ranch

Maytag Mountain Ranch is a working cattle ranch located in Salida, Colorado, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Residents of the ranch enjoy a uniquely Western lifestyle, complete with ranching, horseback riding, fly-fishing, hiking and more.

The core of the Ranch's vision is environmental sustainability. From the community garden to the free-ranging chickens, the ranch provides fresh, healthy food options. No pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics are used. Owners have access to fresh vegetables and fruit, fresh milk, eggs and grass-fed beef from the roaming cows raised on the property.

Anyone can order the grass-fed beef from Maytag Mountain Ranch. It's a quick way to stock your freezer, and the beef makes a great gift. Visit maytagmountainranch.com/beef for information on pricing, availability and ordering.
