Christmas came and went, but it left a mark.

No snow this year—just a mess of mud and frozen tanks. The cattle still needed feeding.

The days were short, cold, and quiet.

But the phone kept ringing.

Folks calling in, worn down, asking honest questions about real food.

About trust. About what’s next.

That’s why we’re still here.

Because the system’s only getting darker.

Because there’s PFAS in the soil and fake labels on your meat.

Because no one’s cleaning it up.

Because they’d rather feed you bugs than admit they broke the food chain.

But you’re not waiting around for someone to fix it.

You’re stocking the freezer. You’re getting smart.

You’re feeding your family like it matters—because it does.

We’re here for people like you.

The ones who care where their food comes from.

Who want to know their rancher’s name.

Who want a number they can call when things go sideways.

This Week from the Ranch

The Food We Raise—and the Kids Who Raise It With Us
Our kids used to eat like most kids do.
Chicken nuggets. Breakfast cereal. Processed food.
We didn’t question it—until we had to.
When Melanie got sick, nothing the doctors gave us worked.

It took us a while to connect the dots.
What we ate was making us sick.
So we cleared out the freezer and started over.
We started raising chickens.

Then came Andy and Butterscotch, our first set of beef.
Our older kids learned real quick how to roll out hay bales and fill water troughs— and they learned it in a particularly hard North Idaho winter.

Now we always have a few bottle calves a year, and these boys bottle feed them twice a day.
They feed and water the chickens. They know how to raise food the way it’s supposed to be raised—
because they’ve seen the other side.
We know most families can’t raise their own.
So we raise it like we’re raising it for our own.
Because we are.
And this winter, we’ve got clean food ready for yours.

Why This Matters


We don’t sell to JBS.
We don’t answer to Tyson.


We don’t chase grocery store margins or play Wall Street’s games.
We raise animals the old-fashioned way—on pasture, by family, with zero tolerance for shortcuts.


Meanwhile…
JBS is back in court over slave labor allegations. x.com/idahobeef/status/2001875103190257871?s=61

Tyson just shut down a Nebraska beef plant.
x.com/idahobeef/status/1995882922558026141?s=61

Tight supplies, they claim—after years of consolidation.
That’s why we don’t play the middle.
We go straight to families.



When you store clean food in your freezer, you’re not just buying meat.
You’re buying margin. You’re buying time.
You’re choosing something that works—when the system breaks.
—
We’re not a label. We’re not a brand.
We’re a North Idaho ranch family doing things the hard way—so your family doesn’t have to settle.


We’ve also recently taken up arms on X.
Not just to sell—but to stand up.

For ranchers. For local communities. For the families being steamrolled by a broken system.
We’re telling the truth out loud.

Just had a highly thoughtful husband who gifted his wife half a beef for Christmas - talk about meat-ing expectations!
Want to hear about the most epic gift fail I ever got from my hubby? It was a vacuum cleaner, yep, he meant well, and I used the heck out of that thing but ... come on!

Need a gift that's actually appreciated, needed and tasty!? Ditch the tie and get your loved one an Acme Acres share of beef, pork, lamb, or chicken.

We love accepting Bitcoins

Dear Acme Acres Community,

This week on the ranch was one long reminder of why we do things the hard way.

It would be easier to cut corners. Use what’s legal. Push animals faster. Rely on one processor and hope nothing breaks. Plenty of folks do.

That’s never been the point here.

We don’t use vaccines, GMOs, hormones or antibiotics because the way we raise animals doesn’t require them. Our cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens live outside, on grass, with room to move and low stress.

Healthy conditions create healthy animals. It really is that simple.

A lot of folks ask what happens when processors shut down or get backed up. You’ve seen it in the news. Plants close. Timelines explode. Food gets harder to find.

We don’t wait around.

Right now we work with multiple processors across Idaho and Washington. It means more miles, more coordination, and more hustle. But it also means we keep delivering when others can’t.

That mindset carries into everything we do.

It’s why whole beef orders come with a freezer. Space is usually the real obstacle, not price. I still buy freezers at wholesale, so I use that to remove friction. If you don’t need it, we take it off the price. Simple.

It’s also why we accept Bitcoin, gold, silver, and trades. Food is foundational. People have different ways of storing value. We’re happy to meet you where you are.

On the food side, we’ve had more positive feedback lately than ever — especially on the beef. Finishing on grass through Idaho winters isn’t fast or cheap. Some months we gain. Some months we hold.

We don’t rush it.

Our Longhorn–Charolais crosses are doing exactly what we hoped: hardy, efficient on grass, and producing beef people keep calling us back about.

We’re also keeping sausage bundles available, fresh pork sausage — clean, simple, and made from animals raised the same way as everything else here. If you want something specific, ask. If it makes sense, we’ll figure it out.

One thing worth saying out loud: buying bulk meat takes planning. This isn’t grocery-store logistics. If you’re halfway through your freezer, it’s probably time to think about the next order.

Good food takes time.

If you’ve got questions, call or text me directly. I’d rather talk than sell.

Thanks for supporting a ranch that’s building something durable — for us, and for the community around us.

Warm regards,
Jason & Melanie
