✔️ About us

Our ranch is the largest in the East Asia, located in the pollution-free alpine region of 850-1,470m above sea level. It was first established in 1972, and we started a ranch business to obtain raw materials for ramen soup. And now we raise about 300 cows and 100 sheep.

Animals is living freely in green grasslands with a total area of 19,834,800 m2 and the wind generators towering on the hill are the largest eco-friendly energy source in Korea. Ranch employees of various ages are working at the moment. Ranch wants to raise animals in their natural appearance. The vast organic pasture provides a delicious dining table for animals and a comfortable resting place for people to enjoy mysterious and beautiful scenery.

Currently, the products produced by the livestock have been commercialized and sold in ranches and nearby areas. It’s not easy to work on a ranch, but I want to let woofers know the speciality of a ranch in the vast nature. Our ranch implements a sustainable farming method that protects the natural ecosystem, and it is our dream future to protect Mother Nature and share food together as nature has given us.

✔️ Farming Experience Since 1972

✔️ Farming Method

Our ranch is certified for organic meadows and organic livestock products. We don’t use chemical fertilizers, we use organic compost to produce hay and feed cows.

It is a congratulatory circulation farming method that uses the excrement of cows grown on organic hay to directly produce organic fertilizers on the ground, raising cows and sheep and growing hay

✔️ Organic Lifestyle

Compost is produced using livestock manure. In order to realize ESG, we are refraining from using disposable products as much as possible in the ranch and aiming for a life that coexists with nature
