As we continue to grow the farm and serve an expanding customer base in the Puget Sound region, we recognize that there is a limit to what we can do on our land here in Shelton, WA.
As such, we are excited to partner with other local producers who are raising animals on pastures to the highest standards for animal welfare, environmental stewardship, and product quality.
Through these partnerships, we hope to continue building demand for pastured meats produced locally and outside of the industrial system.
Three generations of the Anderson family have worked at MTA Ranch, a family-run cattle operation in Ellensburg, Washington, with a fourth generation eager to join. Mark Anderson, the key figure in the ranch, has had a passion for cattle since his youth, participating in regional 4H and FFA shows. This passion drives their dedication to high-quality purebred Angus cattle and regenerative practices aimed at sustainability and compassion.
Located near the Yakima River, MTA Ranch benefits from lush grasses and open pastures, perfect for raising cattle. With GAP 4 and regenerative certifications, the Andersons prioritize responsible land management and cattle care, fostering a thriving ecosystem where both animals and land flourish, and producing premium beef that is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished.
