Big Bear Ranch, located near Horsefly in the beautiful Cariboo Region of Central BC, is family owned and operated. We are certified organic by PACS, but our understanding of organic includes more than what can be regulated. We believe in the importance of a holistic balance between land, animals and people. This starts with naturally fertile soil to grow a variety of healthy plants, which our animals graze to provide us with nutritious and great tasting meat. An organic place has to achieve sustainability through biodiversity in the landscape, in the plants and crops and in the species raised.

We don’t feed grain to ruminants and grass finish our beef with a rotational grazing system. Our humane animal husbandry includes low stress handling techniques and grazing on big pastures. We want the animals to be able to live as close as possible to Mother Nature’s plan: cows calve on green grass, pigs grow up in large pastures with trees and wallows, chicken and turkeys are truly raised free range and horses roam on big meadows.

We sell grass fed beef and pasture raised pork as a whole as well as in halves, quarters, and by the cut. Ground beef, European style Bratwurst and pet food are also available. Broadbreasted Bronze Turkeys are available in fall, but have to be preordered. Feel free to visit us at the ranch or have a look at our website.
