Please join our tour of Deep Creek Ranch. Deep Creek Ranch produces delicious, tender, nutritious and safe, grass-fed meats available for direct sale to Florida consumers only. We believe foods are best consumed near the place they are produced. Since 1883, the family owned and operated Ranch has produced food on its land near De Leon Springs. The cattle and sheep are naturally raised, always free of added hormones, growth enhancers, antibiotics and other chemicals. They graze on native pastures. Production of our fully matured meats is as unhurried as in Great Grandfather and Grandmother Strawn’s time. The Ranch’s operations are entirely consistent with the philosophy of Slow Food, a movement that links food and its producers with a healthy community and environment. Deep Creek Ranch embraces the Slow Food philosophy in its application of local marketing and consumption, management integrity, carefully selected genetics, environmentally sound practices, choice forages and grasses, sensitive health care, and humane treatment.
