Welcome to Da-Le Ranch, a small, sustainable family farm, located in Southern California's Central Inland Empire

What we offer. . .

FARM-FRESH MEAT.  Our animals are raised in open areas, not cramped into small containers or pems.  No Contained Area Farming Operations (CAFO's) OR feed lots here!  We feed no hormones, steroids, or incremental antibiotics.  All the animals get lots of fresh veggies and fruits, in addition to grass, and our proprietary feed mixes.

    GRASS-FED BEEF:  At Farmer's Markets, most cuts are available for pickup or order for delivery at a subsequent market.  Like lamb, we are not currently selling live beef, due to a high demand at our local markets.  Quarter, half and full sides of beef are available by advance order. 

    GRASS-FED LAMB:  In addition to individual cuts of lamb, we offer half and whole sides.  Due to the high demand we're experiencing at Farmer's Markets, we are not currently selling live lambs.

    PIGS: NO added hormones or steroids...just delicious, small farm-raised, eating loads of local fruit, vegetables, and supplemented with a proprietary feed and grass.  Various mixed breeds, sized from weaners, to roasters and freezer pack size.  Live pigs are also available, as are roasters for your backyard BBQ.

    CHICKENS & EGGS:  Various tasty breeds, mostly brown egg layers, with a few "Easter" eggers (pale pink to greenish/blue eggs).  Meat chickens are delicious, juicy and a very popular item - naturally pastured birds scratching out a living doing what chickens love to do!  They love veggies too!  Our farm-fresh eggs are supreme!

        OTHER FOWL:  Turkey, duck, pheasant, quail and geese are grown both on the farm and at several other (more predator-free) farms.

    RABBITS: Mixed breeds for pets, New Zealand Whites for meat. Used cages, feeders and nesting boxes also available if you want to raise your own. Ask how to partner with us in our new URBAN FARMING 101 series with rabbits and chickens.

All Animals purchased whole, or in a "pool" may be processed at one of several U.S.D.A. or custom facilities  Meats sold by-the-cut at Farmer's Markets or picked up at the farm are always U.S.D.A. inspected.
