Hi! We are new to Instagram (but not a new company!), so here’s a little About Me!
🥩We are Gates Ranch Meat Company, a 4th generation custom butcher shop located on the outskirts of Vacaville, Ca. that specializes in beef, pork, lamb, goat and wild game processing. Most of what we process are animals raised on farms/ranches and brought to us for processing. We also process a lot of deer, elk, wild hog, and the like during hunting season.
🥩We are not a retail store (but hope to be someday!) so you can’t buy single cuts of meat from us. 😢
🥩We are a small family owned and operated operation. We have one butcher, Ryan Wemple, and two meat wrappers, Jody Wemple and Vanean Gates. This trio is responsible for every aspect of the business -this includes scheduling and accepting animals, caring for the product in the cooler, obtaining cutting instructions from the customer, cutting and packaging, and boxing and scheduling pickup. We are all also the maintenance and cleaning crews, the bookkeepers, the day and night shift workers and everything in between (and we love it 💙).
🥩 If you don’t raise your own livestock, you can order from us! We offer 1/4, 1/2 or whole beef shares an”d whole lambs from either our ranch or other local family owned ranches. We can sometimes get hogs too. All orders are cut and wrapped according to your preference!
🥩 Calling us is the best way to contact us. Our phone number is 707-448-3867. We don’t have online order forms or standard cutting instructions. Everybody likes different things and has different needs, which is why we prefer having actual phone or face to face conversations with our customers to ensure the best possible experience!
🥩 We have the BEST customers!!!! We value the relationships we have with our customers and strive to treat every customer like a friend. When you choose us for your processing needs, we promise to be fair, honest and kind and we hope you treat us the same 💙.
