Here in the mountains and pastures of far Northern, California, we work tirelessly to produce the best quality meat for you to feed your family. You can trust that our animals are raised with care and attention, that quality and consistency matter and that you know where the food you feed your family comes from.
We are the Heffernan family and we are Five Marys Ranch.
We believe in working hard and doing things the old-fashioned way, together as a family, to provide for yours. There simply are no shortcuts. We commit to consistently providing the finest quality meats, only from animals that we raise, as a family, on our ranch, directly to your family’s doorstep and to your table, anywhere in the country.
After years in the restaurant business, we had a lot of trials cooking with different meats, from small farms to bigger farms. We appreciate that consistency matters - that extra effort like well-packaged products, extended dry-aging, and old-fashioned butchery practices (one animal at a time) is required for the most spectacular flavor and tenderness.
Above all, constant and unwavering care is required every single day of an animal’s life to achieve a premium cut of meat. We understand that and we go that extra mile for you. We make it as easy as possible to order our beef, pork, and lamb by the individual cut or in a customized box, just for your family, whenever you’d like it.
We are now the primary meat source for thousands of families throughout the country and they will tell you that our products are the best they’ve had and that our delivery is quick, easy, and predictable. We hope you will taste and appreciate the difference - you won’t be disappointed.
What you put on your table to feed your children is just as important to us as what we feed ours…
And yes, there really are ‘Five Marys.’
Five Marys Ranch is named for the five girls in our family - all named Mary. Our daughters are all named after grandmothers and aunts on both sides, carrying on a longstanding family tradition of strong women named Mary. We hope to continue our legacy for generations to come.
We ship thousands of pounds of meat every year from our farm store, where we pack every box with attention to detail. Our custom boxes are packed with dry ice and shipped overnight to doorsteps all over the United States. We share our ranch-raised meats, our single-barrel-aged whiskeys, and our favorite cocktails with our community and visitors here in a historic bar and restaurant that we brought back to life as Five Marys Burgerhouse.
We host friends and families on the ranch to enjoy our meats and experience where their food comes from at Camp Five Marys. We appreciate the relationship with you, our customer. We’re honored to continue to provide you with all-natural, ranch-raised meats to share with your family and your friends.
We hope you’ll shop Five Marys. We’d love to be a part of your family’s meals and for you to know and trust where your food comes from.
FIVE MARYS MEATS
Our Black Angus cattle, Heritage Berkshire hogs, and Navajo Churro lambs spend their days on our green pastures and hills rich in minerals with plenty of sunshine and fresh Northern California mountain air. We vigilantly care for our animals as a family and ship directly to your doorstep. You can experience the difference in the taste of our beef, pork, and lamb.
Brian and Mary’s ranching methods and beliefs help preserve and protect the land and respect the animals from birth through processing at Five Marys Custom Meat Co. After the animals are processed, Five Marys beef, pork, and lamb are available for purchase and delivered right to your doorstep.
If you’re interested in a monthly or quarterly subscription box, the Five Marys Ranch Club offers customized boxes based on the size of your family and your cooking preferences. Registration to the Ranch Club is limited. Please join our mailing list to be notified when registration is open to the public.
