Kalapooia Valley Grass Fed Processing Sustainability

Transportation - saving fuel and carbon footprints. A few miles from I-5, our own lambs from Anderson Ranch are on the same property.

Our facility was constructed by local contractors and local materials.

Well water is used and reclaimed water from processing is used on our pastures.

All other unusable by-products are composted and used on a separate ranch.

We apply the same sustainability standards that we do with our other business, Anderson Ranches Grass Fed Lamb. View our web page >
