The regular season for the Proctor Farmers' Market starts Saturday, March 30. You can find us there every Saturday from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. We love this market because of the friendly vendors, fresh produce, and delicious prepared items. Some of our favorites include our booth neighbors Adam's Mushrooms, bread and pastries from Balloon Roof Baking Company, and Infinite Goodness cold-pressed juices. 

Did you know that you can place an order in advance for pickup at the market? It's the best way to make sure that you get what you want before we're sold out. If you're looking for speciality items like offal and suet, it's best to order them in advance as we often aren't able to bring our full inventory of items to the market.

Community Engagement in 2024

At Colvin Ranch, our mission is to take care of the land, animals, and people in our community. We accomplish this through conservation practices that enable us to produce healthy, high-quality meat for our community, while helping native plants and animals flourish alongside our livestock. In 2024, our focus was on community engagement. Here's a quick snapshot of what we accomplished with our small but mighty team.

A Conservation Legend

Over the past 20 years, we've worked closely with Marty Chaney, a pasture management specialist with NRCS, on the implementation of our grazing plans. I don't know whether it was by luck or chance that we ended up with Marty in our corner of the field, but it was certainly our good fortune.

Conservation Grazing At Violet Prairie

Since I was nine years old, I would look out my bedroom window every morning and dream about grazing cattle on the hill across from the ranch, on land that was originally part of our family's historic homestead in the 1850s. Today, that land is part of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Violet Prairie Unit, and I'm grateful to be working with them to help restore the native prairie here using conservation grazing with our cattle as a management tool.
