Applejack Ranch is located in the rolling grasslands of Central Alberta on the shores of Buffalo Lake. Our family is a hundred year farm family and take great enjoyment in raising heritage breeds. We believe in a chemical free, grass fed approach to all our ranch operations. The ranch has a large portion of its land in native prairie grassland. We take environmental stewardship very seriously and promote eco tourism and education. Mary Ann &Les and family raise Purebred Dexter Cows, Large Black Hogs, Icelandic Sheep and Several breeds of heritage chickens. We have a small supply of raspberries and rhubarb at present and are waiting for our orchard to grow. Our orchard contains Saskatoon’s, cherries, pears and apples so hopefully in the future we will have market garden to compliment our meat selections. We currently sell meat to both restaurants and private consumers.
