The 50 acres that make up Crown "S" Ranch have been in the care of the Sukovaty family since 1968, when Val and George Sukovaty purchased it as a working family ranch.  They raised five children here and now we -- Val and George's son Louis Sukovaty and his wife Jennifer Argraves -- are raising our two children here.

Our Family

We come from a long line of farmers.  Louis' mom's family came out west along the Oregon Trail in the 1860's and homesteaded in the Willamette Valley.  His dad emmigrated from Hungary, fleeing the Nazis  and leaving behind a large farming property that had been in the Sukovaty family for hundreds of years.  Jennifer was raised on her family's small farm in northern Idaho.

We both grew up eating all-natural pastured livestock.  At a time when it was common practice to use pesticides and herbicides, Val and George opted to leave the land as they found it: clean and green.  When we took over Crown "S" Ranch in 1999, we followed their lead, raising all-natural, pastured livestock as well.  We wouldn't consider feeding our children any other type of meat.

Our commitment to producing healthy food through sustainable farming was passed down to us by our parents and their parents before them.  Now we are passing those values on to our children.  Generations of knowledge have gone into raising the best and healthiest livestock possible on our ranch.  We encourage you to give it a try.
