A family owned and operated working cattle ranch since 1918, the Nick Ranch was the first livestock producer in San Luis Obispo County to become Certified Organic. At the Nick Ranch the cattle are 100% Grass Fed and Grass Finished, naturally "from start to finish." We do not import or buy any outside cattle; we raise and harvest only our own cattle & we raise them on our own Ranch. Our Gourmet Beef is USDA inspected at the small, family owned, Certified Organic Processing Plant near our Ranch.
