Sustainability
Our goal at Dalla Terra Ranch is to raise our animals in a healthy and sustainable environment.
Specifically, we have established the following goals for our operation:
- Select pasture and feed crops carefully for seasonality, livestock life-cycle, livestock vigor, end product quality, and protection of the land
- Grow all feed consumed on premises
- Minimize outside inputs (energy, fuel, labor, etc.)
- Utilize alternative energy whenever possible
- Maximize agricultural output on property while maintaining aesthetic appeal
- Introduce/re-introduce indigenous/native species in all plantings and restorations
- Operate ranch as a demonstration property from sustainability, environmental, and agricultural perspectives
- Make available the ranch as a venue for education and entertaining
- Use recycled or refurbished supplies wherever possible
