Colvin Ranch

Colvin Ranch is a family owned and operated grass fed cattle ranch located in the Olympia area near the small town of Tenino. The ranch was homesteaded by Ignatius Colvin, who came to Washington on the Oregon Trail in 1851 from Boone County, Missouri, and is one of the oldest ranches in the county still owned by the original family.

Four generations later, the Colvin Ranch family heritage continues through their humane livestock handling, stewardship of the land, and sustainable grazing practices that allow native and endangered plants to flourish alongside their high-quality, all-natural cattle finished on grass.

Why we love them: Through regenerative grazing, Colvin Ranch is stewarding some of the most ecologically vibrant native grasslands in the state. Their work is a shining example of herbivores and prairies thriving together as they historically did long before humans arrived on the continent.
