As more small farmers and ranchers across the United States shutter their operations, young RanchHERs like Lindsey Anson are leaning into the job. With a love of horses from a young age that led to a career spent on horseback, Lindsey finds joy in her cowboy lifestyle and deeply understands the need to protect the American ranchers’ way of life.
With one foot planted in tradition and the other walking into the future, Lindsey ranches with her husband and works on innovative ways to help other small farmers and ranchers meet the demands of the direct-to-consumer market and improve their bottom line.
Pitchfork Ranch
RanchHER Lindsey Anson and her husband, Ben, are hardworking ranchers who love cattle, horses, and living the cowboy life. As ranchers, they are hands-on with the day-to-day operation of the well-known Pitchfork Ranch in Meeteetse, Wyoming, where stockmanship, stewardship, and high-quality beef are the name of the game.
There’s a certain day in the ranching world that everyone looks forward to—shipping day. In the next all-new episode, RanchHER TV host Janie Johnson got a chance to experience shipping day alongside RanchHER and entrepreneur Lindsey Anson of the iconic Pitchfork Ranch in Meeteetse, Wyoming, as Lindsey gathers, performs pregnancy-checks, and ships a herd of pasture-raised, grain-finished cattle.
Range Market
As an entrepreneur, Lindsey co-founded Range Market, a brilliant and unique female-owned online marketplace connecting small-scale ranchers with the means to sell beef, chicken, and pork directly to their consumers. By giving customers a direct link and knowledge about the farms and ranches raising their food, Range Market helps their farmers reach wider markets, increase profit margins lost to meat packers and grocery store chains, and ensure the longevity of American farms and ranches. How cool!
