Established in 2000.
Mike Callicrate, the founder of Ranch Foods Direct, is a rancher, business entrepreneur and family farm advocate. He formed Ranch Foods Direct to sell high quality naturally raised beef directly to customers. He believed quantity should not come at the expense of quality. Since then, it has grown into a prominent, well-respected marketing outlet in the community for small farmers and artisanal food producers from throughout the region. We believe food should be good — and good for you.
