The Fitch Family Legacy
Founded by three generations of the Fitch family, Fitch Ranch Artisan Meat Co. is more than just a ranch—it's a testament to a family's passion for quality and sustainable farming. Originating from the Yampa Valley of Colorado and extending to Grand County, our mission has always been to provide exceptional meat products through responsible and humane animal care, as well as land stewardship.
Our Philosophy
30-30-30-10
Fitch Ranch Artisan Meats employs a 30-30-30-10 quality philosophy, focusing on every step from farm to table to ensure excellence. The first 30% assesses our cattle's genetics, upbringing, and environment, emphasizing stress-free, regenerative practices. The second 30% looks at humane processing, skilled butchery, and stringent food safety. The third 30% considers the end user's handling, from storage to cooking, ensuring the beef's quality is preserved until consumption. The final 10% rewards exceptionalism in any area, allowing for outstanding genetics or processing to uplift the final product, even if cooking is imperfect. This comprehensive approach, applicable to various products, highlights our dedication to maximizing quality at each stage.
From Pasture to Plate
At Fitch Ranch, we believe that quality begins at the source. We proudly raise Black Angus cattle, known for their high-quality, well-marbled, and flavorful beef. Each animal is hand-selected to meet our stringent quality standards as well as those of our chefs. Our meats then feature prominently at the Fitch Ranch Café, located in Grandby, Colorado, where our farm-to-fork philosophy is brought to life through a menu of hearty breakfasts and mouthwatering lunches.
Unmatched Quality
It is the mission of Fitch Ranch to be sustainable by being excellent stewards of the land and following the principles and practices of regenerative agriculture & responsible grazing. Fitch Ranch was awarded the prestigious Ingenuity in Rangeland Management Award by the National USDA.
Fitch Ranch also prides itself in being the only direct-to-consumer source for Certified Angus Beef in the state of Coloroado
