Geerdes Family - Rooted River Ranch

Our Farm Philosophy

Welcome to Rooted River Ranch! 

We are a small batch based business located in the Ogden Valley. We started our journey in early 2022 by buying our gorgeous 5-acre plot. We took a huge leap, selling our suburban home and moving our family of six into a travel trailer—no power, no water, and no prior farming experience! After two years of building and learning, we moved into our beautiful home in May 2024. Every long summer and cold winter since has been spent making this homestead perfectly ours. Driven by the belief that you can’t always trust the grocery store, our core philosophy is simple: the best quality food comes from happy, healthy animals and clean, locally sourced ingredients. We work year-round to perfect recipes and products with the intention of sharing that quality and healthy living from our home to yours.

All of our animals are fed a healthy, natural diet because what feeds them feeds us. Our laying hens are truly free-range and receive a soy-free, corn-free, high-protein diet, resulting in clean and rich tasting eggs you won’t find elsewhere. Our pigs are the most spoiled and happy you'll ever meet—complete with a sprinkler system for hot days and plenty of warm straw in the winter.

Our curated product line is rooted in quality: Sourdough (fermented for 48 hours for maximum nutritional benefit), Cinnamon Rolls, Freeze-Dried Meals, Pastured Pork, Chicken, Eggs, and limited-supply goods like Tallow-Based Soaps and Handcrafted Salves.

We offer convenient delivery within The Ogden Valley, shipping for our non-perishables (like freeze-dried meals) if you’re out of state, or stop by our Farm Stand to pick up your order! Visit our Products Page now for the full selection and current availability.

We get it—you can find a can of soup for five bucks. But at Rooted River Ranch, we aren't just selling "food units"; we are selling a seat at our families ranch dinner table. Here is why our prices reflect our process:

  • Real Meat, No Labels Needed: Most "beef" or "chicken" in a bag comes from a global supply chain of factory farms. Our poultry is raised right here under the Utah sun with fresh air and movement. Our beef comes from a neighbor’s ranch where the animals are pasture-raised and finished. You are paying for clean protein, not "industry standards."

  • The Labor of Love: We don't have a factory line. We hand-roll our thick egg noodles. We slow-simmer our broth for hours to unlock the nutrients. We hand-blend every spice. When you eat our chili, you’re eating a meal that someone actually cooked, not just assembled.

  • No "Chemistry Lab" Ingredients: To make cheap food shelf-stable, most companies load it with sodium, MSG, and fillers. We use the power of freeze-drying to preserve our meals, meaning we don't have to hide behind chemicals. It’s 100% real food that won't leave you feeling bloated or sluggish on your next flight.
