Hey there, CT Ranch friends and family!

Can you believe it's already January? While we're just settling into the new year, it's never too early to start thinking about the tastiest holiday of the year – Thanksgiving! And you know what that means: it's time to secure your spot for one of our incredible, pasture-raised Thanksgiving turkeys.

At CT Ranch, we take Thanksgiving seriously – not just the day itself, but the entire process leading up to it. We're busy planning and scheduling our turkey-raising activities to make sure you get the best bird possible for your feast. Our free-range, pasture-raised turkeys are a labor of love, and we want to make sure you don't miss out on this delicious experience.

Why pre-order, you ask? 

Well, our turkeys are so popular that they fly (or should we say, gobble?) off the shelves faster than you can say cranberry sauce. By pre-ordering now, you're not only ensuring that you'll have a delectable bird for your Thanksgiving table, but you're also helping us plan and raise the turkeys with the utmost care and attention.

Imagine a Thanksgiving table adorned with a perfectly roasted, golden-brown turkey that not only tastes incredible but also comes from a farm that values regenerative practices and the well-being of its animals. That's what you get with CT Ranch.

By pre-ordering, you become a part of our farm family, joining us on this journey of sustainable and regenerative farming. Your commitment to securing your Thanksgiving turkey early allows us to plan our processing dates, ensuring that each turkey is raised with love, care, and the freedom to roam on our pasture.

So, how do you secure your bird? 

It's as easy as pumpkin pie! Head over to our website and place your pre-order. We'll take note of your request, and when Thanksgiving rolls around, you'll be the proud owner of one of our delicious, thoughtfully raised turkeys.

Don't wait until the last minute – our turkeys are in high demand, and we want to make sure everyone gets to enjoy the true taste of Thanksgiving with a CT Ranch turkey on their table.

Pre-Order Your Turkey Here!

Thank you for being a part of our farm family, and here's to another Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, good food, and the joy of supporting local, regenerative agriculture.

We can't wait to be a part of your Thanksgiving tradition!

The Truth About Fats: Part 1

How Seed Oils Took Over Our Tables 🧑‍🌾 A New Series from CT RanchWelcome to the first part of our three-part series, The Truth About Fats. Over the next three months, we’ll be walking through how our food — and our health — changed when the world turned away from traditional animal fats and toward industrial seed oils. It’s a story that goes back much farther than most people realize… all the way to the 1800s. 🕯️ From Candles to the Kitchen It all started in 1837 when two enterprising men, Proctor and Gamble, began making candles out of cottonseed oil instead of animal tallow. It was a clever use of a cheap byproduct of the cotton industry, and for a while, it worked — until the lightbulb came along. When Edison’s electric company lit up homes in 1882, the need for candles plummeted. Suddenly, Proctor & Gamble had barrels of leftover cottonseed oil and no place for it to go. But instead of throwing it out, they looked for another way to sell it — and that’s where everything began to change. 🥣 The Birth of Crisco By 1903, scientists had figured out how to hydrogenate cottonseed oil — changing its color, texture, and smell to resemble animal fat. A few years later, in 1911, Proctor & Gamble launched their new product: Crisco. It was marketed as “cleaner, lighter, and modern.” Ads showed smiling homemakers and happy families gathered around golden-fried foods. It was cheaper than butter or lard, and before long, kitchens across America were filled with tins of Crisco instead of jars of rendered fat. By 1933, the company switched from cottonseed to soybean oil, an even cheaper option — and the rest is history. 🌾 A Shift Away from Tradition Over time, the oils that were once considered cheap industrial byproducts became everyday staples. And somehow, the fats that nourished generations before us — butter, tallow, lard — were labeled as “unhealthy.” But if you trace the story back, you’ll see that this wasn’t about health at all. It was about marketing, money, and convenience. The result? A nation that lost touch with the natural, stable fats that were part of God’s good design for nourishment. 🔍 Time to Look Deeper Today, the debate continues — seed oils vs. traditional animal fats. But when you start digging into the history and science, the truth speaks for itself. In the meantime, check out below of the traditional fats we offer here at CT Ranch to bring real nourishment back to your family table.

Farm Dogs: The Real Bosses of the Ranch

Farm dogs don’t clock in—but they DO have very official roles that conveniently come with zero paperwork and unlimited union breaks. While every farm runs a little differently, most hard-working ranch mutts and pedigreed pros share a familiar list of “job duties,” whether they live here at CT Ranch or somewhere across the country:

“Shots, Germs, and Terrain:” Unpopular Opinions and Controversial Topics.

Out here at CT Ranch, we keep things pretty simple. When it comes to our animals, the only shot we give our calves is for brucellosis — and that’s just once, when they’re little. Why? Because in our experience, brucellosis is a very real risk, and the vaccine does a good job of minimizing it. We haven’t yet found a better way to handle that particular threat, so we use it. Beyond that, we put our trust in strong terrain, good forage, clean water, and plenty of sunshine. That got me thinking about the bigger picture: vaccines, germs, and the theories we’ve all been taught to accept as gospel.
