Proudly serving our local PNW communities 🌲🏔️🐂 🥩📦

If you're new here, welcome! We're so happy to have you.

We believe in having food stay as local as possible – which is a big reason why we intentionally choose to only offer delivery and pick-up options in the Portland and Seattle area.

We have a variety of 100% grass-fed beef bundles, pasture-raised pork and chicken options. The way we raise our animals not only makes for nutrient dense, delicious meat, but helps restore our soil.

If you ever have any questions, shoot us a DM. Thank you for supporting! taken in Portland, Oregon by @carmanranch

Make room in your freezer, Portland. Our second annual Warehouse Sale is Saturday, October 24.

We’re opening the doors for one day of in-person shopping, with our grass fed, grass finished, regeneratively-raised beef at up to 40% off retail (available exclusively at the warehouse). Come stock up on whole muscle cuts: brisket for the smoker, short ribs for a braise, and flank, skirt, hanger and culotte for the grill, plus snack sticks, whole chickens and more.

These whole muscle cuts are large and may need some trimming or portioning at home, which helps us offer such great pricing.

Details:
October 24 • 11 AM–2 PM
610 SE 6th Ave, Portland

Bring a cooler or large bag for your haul and come get to know the people behind Carman Ranch!

We’re closing out our 2026 Our Vineyard Table Dinner series with a special collaboration between @ambarestate and @carmanranch.

On October 17, Chef Heidi Whitney-Schile will feature Carman Ranch’s premium grass-fed, grass-finished beef in a four-course dinner paired with Ambar Estate wines.

The menu will include roasted bone marrow and dry-aged New York strip steak, showcasing the quality of Carman Ranch beef alongside wines from our Dundee Hills estate.

Our Vineyard Table is a dinner series centered around the people, farms, and producers behind what we grow, cook, and pour. This evening brings together two family-owned businesses with a shared appreciation for regenerative agriculture, exceptional ingredients, and the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.

Every January we're bombarded with advice about what to eat, what to eat less of.

But food decisions don’t happen in a vacuum. They shape land, livelihoods, ecosystems, and communities in ways we don’t see at the grocery store.

Eaters take multiple paths in search of better health and a healthier planet. And we keep coming back this: How food is produced matters. Who we support matters. And small, everyday choices add up over time.

It isn’t about doing everything the same way or making perfect choices. It’s about staying curious, asking better questions, and paying attention to the systems we’re part of. We’re all learning as we go.

This is what winter looks like at the ranch.

These months are what we call our “dormant season”. Grass growth slows to a halt, days are shorter, and the land asks us to shift how we care for both the soil and our animals.

Even though the grass isn’t growing, our cattle are still an important part of the system this time of year. With limited fresh forage available, we rely on locally grown hay to meet their nutritional needs.

Hay isn’t just feed; it’s how we bridge the gap when grass quality dips due to cold temperatures and slower growth. It’s also a source of nutrients for the soil — the cattle eat what they need, and what they leave behind eventually feeds the soil microbes.

Winter is also a season of learning. We experiment, observe, and refine—looking for ways to reduce wintering costs, improve efficiency, and keep more carbon cycling back into the soil. Every decision is made with long-term soil health in mind.

As temperatures drop, our pasture-raised hogs transition back into the barn. This keeps them protected from the elements while still allowing them to express natural behaviors and remain part of our regenerative system.

The winter season may look quieter, but the work doesn’t stop. It’s a time of stewardship, preparation, and care—setting the foundation for the growing season ahead. taken in Carman Ranch by @carmanranch

Ground beef = endless easy meals

Our grass-fed, grass-finished ground beef is a true staple. It's also high quality! Pasture raised, supporting soil restoration.

Nutrient-dense, deeply flavorful, and incredibly versatile 🍝🍔🌮 It’s the kind of beef you can rely on for everyday meals without sacrificing quality.

From tacos and burgers to chili and slow-simmered bolognese, ground beef makes it easy to put nourishing, satisfying meals on the table all week long.

When you source from Carman Ranch, you’re also supporting regenerative grazing practices that restore the soil and land for future generations. Healthy soil grows healthy grass, feeds healthy animals, and ultimately nourishes us with healthier food.

As we head into the New Year, now is the time to stock your freezer with food you feel good about eating. Our ground beef bundle makes it easy to commit to healthier, home-cooked meals while supporting regenerative agriculture with every purchase.

🚐🌲Upcoming delivery + pick-up windows to place your order by:
PDX - Sunday, Jan 11th, 2026 (Free pick-up + Delivery)
SEA - Sunday, Feb 15th, 2026 (Free pick-up)

Thank you for your support!🙌🏽 taken in Portland, Oregon by @carmanranch

This season I’m grateful for kids home from faraway places, moisture in the ground, and healthy animals.

I’m thankful for new faces and energy on the ranch, and for the people who make our work possible. Thank you for being part of our community.

May this season bring you joy, rest, reflection, nourishing food, and an excuse to do what makes you happy… like dragging your kids outside for a family photo.
