How the ranch works.

Vision

A measurable, repeatable, and regionally adaptable model for agriculture — one that restores ecological health, supports producer viability, rebuilds local food systems, and is refined continuously through data, experimentation, and system design.

The ranch is being built as a single connected system. Managed grazing, perennial plantings, annual production, soil and water management, ecological infrastructure, market relationships, value-added products, hospitality, and software are not separate enterprises that happen to share an address — they are designed to depend on each other, with the output of one becoming an input to the next.

The result is a working ranch that is also a living research platform, a direct-market business, and a measurable model for what integrated agriculture can become.

Designed to depend on each other, with the output of one becoming an input to the next.

Production

Pastured livestock, perennial plantings, annual production, herbal goods, and future seasonal offerings are managed for both economic viability and ecological function. The livestock model centers on Old Spot pork — ‘the orchard pig,’ the oldest pedigreed spotted breed in the world, listed as Critical by the Livestock Conservancy and held under royal patronage in Britain — managed here for conservation alongside production. Grass-fed and grass-finished beef rounds out the meat program, with a growing line of herbal goods alongside: infused honey, teas, and salves. A Christmas tree pilot begins in 2026.

Production is not the end of the system but a continuous flow: animals shape the landscape, the landscape supports forage and biodiversity, plants and value-added goods create market diversity, and each cycle feeds the next.

System

Land, water, fencing, infrastructure, livestock, plantings, markets, and labor are organized as one operational whole. The ranch is laid out so that each piece reinforces the others — grazing rotations align with forage stages, infrastructure follows water and animal flow, product development follows what the land can support, and market channels are chosen to match the scale and identity of the ranch. H&H is not being built as a collection of disconnected enterprises, but as one integrated operating whole.

Proof

Every paddock, every animal, every observation, and every market-facing output is recorded against a single data model. The biodiversity baseline survey, begun in 2026 in collaboration with Biota Research, treats soil, water, forage, pollinators, and wildlife as operating variables of the ranch rather than incidental outcomes. The intent is straightforward: build the system, measure what it does, and turn what works into something repeatable.

Community

A working ranch is a place, not an idea. H&H Ranch already depends on direct relationships through the Jackson Hole Farmers Market and Slow Food in the Tetons People’s Market, where customers, peers, and future partners encounter the ranch as a real operating system rather than a brand story. Over time, that community layer will expand through a farm stand, workshops, on-site stays, and aligned collaboration — connecting the production system back to the people who consume from it, learn from it, and may help grow it.


The operating layer.

The Data Driven Agriculture Platform™ is the operating layer that holds the whole ranch in measurable form. Built in parallel with the ranch itself, it captures the operational reality — every paddock move, every weight, every product flow, every observation — against a normalized data model so the farm can be analyzed, refined, and eventually replicated rather than simply described. It is internal infrastructure first, proved on this working site before it is anything else.


Current state.

Today the ranch is operating on 36 acres in Driggs, Idaho. Livestock and team operations are active. Old Spot pork and grass-fed and grass-finished beef are central to the current livestock model, alongside a growing line of herbal products including infused honey, teas, and salves.

H&H Ranch currently meets customers through the Jackson Hole Farmers Market and Slow Food in the Tetons People’s Market, with a farm stand planned next and a Christmas tree pilot beginning in 2026. The biodiversity baseline survey began in 2026 in collaboration with Biota Research, and the Data Driven Agriculture Platform™ remains in active development with multiple modules in daily use.
