Premium Grass-fed Beef
Regenerative, Organic and Biodynamic
Our Mission
We are Zbigniew and Aileen, lifelong farmers at heart. Zbigniew grew up on a mixed farm in Poland, while Aileen’s childhood stretched across Canada with summers spent on horseback during cattle roundups in Saskatchewan. After careers in health care and business, we built our first farm from raw land on Lasqueti Island, BC, where we practiced permaculture and biodynamic agriculture. That experience shaped our dream of raising more cattle and sharing premium, regenerative, grass-fed, grass-finished organic beef.
Today, that dream lives on at River Valley Ranch on the Kootenay River in southeastern BC. Once scarred by a gravel pit, the land has been restored into thriving pastures, wetlands, and rolling grasslands. Our cattle are born and raised here in a closed herd, free to graze diverse pastures of grasses and herbs. The ranch is fully off-grid, powered by solar energy, with hempcrete buildings designed for sustainable living. From the way we raise our animals to the way we care for the land, everything we do is rooted in respect, resilience, and a commitment to delivering nourishing field-to-fork food directly to you.
