◆ We recently had the pleasure and rare privilege of touring the ranch of one of our suppliers, Berry Beef Ranch. Landon Berry (6thgeneration Berry family rancher), his father, Patrick and their friend and business partner, Matt Oakeley, hosted us at the breath-takingly beautiful and vast high mountain ranch. The grasses there are some of the best anywhere – even with the sparse snow this year. The timing was perfect to include our niece visiting from Germany. She was able to experience a slice of authentic New Mexico life and history – more than the average tourist gets to see.
