We are a homeschooling family. Six kids. Ages 18 down to a newborn. We’ve been at this long enough to know every season — the burnout seasons, the magical seasons, the “are we even learning anything” seasons, and the “Monopoly totally counts as math” seasons.
Let’s talk cows. Not just any cows — milk cows. You know, the ladies who do the heavy lifting on the farm, the real queens of the pasture. We’ve had a lot of people ask us, “Why Brown Swiss?” Or “Why not Holsteins like everyone else?” Well, grab a mug of milk (preferably ice cold, full-fat & raw), and let’s dive into Dairy Cow Breeds 101…

Today, we live in a culture of overabundance. Not just in material things, but in the way we approach time, relationships, and even food. We expect more, faster, and often with little thought to where it came from or what it cost to produce.
Spring has arrived at CT Ranch, and we’re ready to kick off another season of growth, good food, and healthy pastures! As the cows start venturing out onto fresh green grass, it’s the perfect time to share what we’re up to this year and how we’re improving the land for both our herd and the future of the ranch.
How You Can Help By contributing to our farm projects, you're doing more than just making a donation – you’re investing in the future of CT Ranch and the future of our local food system.
