Farmers Market Sales Associate Pomponio Ranch Meat

  • Date Posted April 16, 2019
  • Location San Gregorio, CA
  • Category Agriculture / Business
  • Job type Part-Time
Company description

Pomponio Ranch is a 2,700-acre ranch tucked away in the coastal rolling hills, in a canyon between San Gregorio and Pescadero. The ranch has a great history of being a long time cattle ranch and at one time hosted rodeos. It has changed ownership a few times over the years and now belongs to a family that takes great pride in their ranch and wants to bring it back to life.

We still raise cattle here, but we also raise Belgium Warmblood horses, Cormo sheep, and Heritage pigs. We raise Angus and Angus cross cattle and use top quality purebred Angus bulls to improve our genetics. Our pork products come from our Heritage Pig herd, the most recent addition to our livestock program. We strive to raise the very best beef and pork in order to provide top quality meat to your restaurant or table. We pride ourselves in the quality of animals we raise. Like everything we raise here at Pomponio Ranch, we raise our cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs with the utmost care and respect. We do not use antibiotics but will use them to doctor a sick animal. We will never use any growth hormones.
