Just like it takes many ingredients to make a great salad, it takes many farms, businesses, and organizations working together to build a thriving local food economy. We’re grateful to be along for the ride!

If you haven't heard yet, our chicken is available at the Service Food Market Fergus Falls, Otto & Asher , and Acres of Asher thanks to being a part of the Hub & Spoke Community.

This delicious Cobb salad was made almost entirely farm-to-table thanks to our abundance of local growers and farmers!

We might just have to take a trip up the interstate to grab a sandwich or some fried chicken… 🤤

Shout-out to Union Avenue Bar & Eatery and Acres of Asher for partnering with us to increase accessibility of our chicken! So grateful for their commitment to local foods and building a resilient food economy.

Drooling over this salad? Here's where to find the ingredients.

We know it seems too good to be true to be eating 100% locally-grown foods this early in the season, but it’s not! You just need to know where to look and how to prepare them - and we are here to help you with both. This delicious salad was put together today with pastured eggs from Acres of Asher; pastured chicken from Red Lantern Ranch; salad greens, spinach, and cucumbers from Sower's Harvest Farm; local maple syrup and over-wintered shallots from last year’s Fergus Falls Farmers Market in the vinaigrette 👌

Not knowing where to find or what to do with this abundance of locally-grown food is a barrier for lots of people in our community. We are so excited to dig into the educational component and cooking classes we’ll be offering at the market to help motivate you to incorporate more local foods into your diets!

Mid-March blizzard in Minnesota today. 🌨️

The warmer weather earlier this week felt pretty nice, but the 40 mph winds we’re getting today remind us winter isn’t quite finished yet. Still, we’re grateful for the moisture as we head toward spring.
While we wait for spring chicks to arrive, we’ve been reflecting on why we’re so committed to raising poultry on pasture.

Most chicken in the grocery store is raised indoors its entire life on a medicated, grain-based diet. That system produces a lot of inexpensive chicken—but not always the most nutritious food.

Chickens raised on pasture get to do what chickens were designed to do: scratch, forage, and eat grasses, seeds, and insects.

Research has shown that birds with access to pasture can develop higher levels of beneficial omega-3 fats and a healthier overall fat profile. (see link in comments)

It’s not just better for the chickens or the land. It’s better food.

In celebration of that, we're putting all our chicken on sale, 10% off through next Sunday, stock up and save!

To shop the sale, visit www.redlanternranch.com.
