The Tenino Community Service Center provides food to families in need throughout our community. They also deliver food to seniors living in rural areas who are homebound. The need is growing. We want to help, and we hope you'll join us.

Now, when you place your order online with us, you have the option of adding a chuck eye steak to donate to the food bank. It's listed separately on our online store, so you'll know which steak is for your donation, and which one is for you. We'll deliver your donation directly to the food bank. Plus, we'll match your donation, so for every package of meat that you donate, we'll be able to provide dinner for two families. 

The next time you place an order with us, consider adding a chuck eye steak to donate to the food bank. And when you cook up your own steak at home, you'll know that another family will have a meal on the table tonight as well.

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.
