Wilsey Ranch Pastured Meats

Wilsey Ranch sits on US Highway 95 in Marsing, in Idaho's Treasure Valley, on rangeland in the Owyhee Mountains. Debby Wilsey has run the ranch for over 50 years, a fourth-generation rancher; she was named Owyhee County Conservationist of the Year in 2010 for her water and pasture-rotation work. The ranch's cattle are a Devon-Akaushi (red Wagyu) cross, intensively managed on a mix of grass and forbs, and the ranch describes the beef as "100% Grass Fed" and "grass-finished," with cattle "never fed GMOs or growth hormones," "never administered antibiotics," and "never grazed on pastures treated with artificial pesticides." The ranch is direct about distribution: "At this time we do not ship; please support your local producer," meaning no nationwide shipping, only local Boise-area options.

Beef is available through the online store for Boise-area ranch pickup or home delivery (Thursdays and Saturdays), in person at the Boise Farmers Market (Saturdays, April through October, 1500 Shoreline Dr., Boise), or as a bulk share by the quarter, half, or whole animal (contact the ranch directly for current availability and pricing). The ranch also raises pasture pork, heritage chickens, and free-range eggs. Reach it at 208-249-0942.
