Prairie Skies Ranch is a small ranch operation that began 6 years ago with one goal in mind, to bring naturally raised ranch raised beef, chicken and pork to the kitchen table. When you come on your visit, you can expect to see all our animals and how they raised and treated, take a walk around the area and enjoy the countryside. Take a look at our products at our store and enjoy some of the samples we’ll have ready for you. So from our ranch we hope to see you enjoy yourselves. And while we do raise our animals in the traditional sense, we also do homestead, such as growing our own vegetables, baking our own foods. So everyone who comes can see how we do our very best to minimize our carbon footprint.

Grazing keeps CO2 in the ground and trees, reducing greenhouse gases. Our family has been farming since 1827 in Canada but the cattle business is a new venture of James'.

But while both sets of his grandparents farmed, his parents didn't. So Rick had to start from scratch, and in 1993 he bought the land where Chatsworth Farm is now. But even before 1993, Rick had a cattle herd that was steadily increasing, and he had been buying second-hand machinery and other equipment. In 1994 he married Johanna and they started the farm. Our three kids -- Charlotte, Nick, and Alex -- started helping from the time they could walk, and are now as young adults an important part of the operation.
