We are honoured to share that Burke Creek Ranch received an Emerald Award for land management.

This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to regenerative grazing practices, responsible water stewardship, and thoughtful land management. As a multi-generational ranch, our goal has always been to leave this landscape better than we found it.

The short documentary below shares a glimpse into the principles that guide our work every day.

one of those dishes that comes together with almost no effort, sits and simmers away, and somehow warms you right down to your bones. My photos don’t quite capture how incredible it really is, but trust me — the flavours and aromas more than make up for that. Think slow-simmered goodness with homemade bone broth, a generous splash of red wine, and plenty of fresh herbs and spices

Flapper Pie is an old rural Canadian recipe and it only requires eggs, milk, corn starch, sugar and a graham crust, all items that a farm pantry would traditionally have on hand.

flavorful summer Beef Carpaccio recipe using an eye of round roast—a lean and budget-friendly cut that's perfect when sliced thin. This version brings a fusion twist, pairing delicate raw beef with bold umami, citrus, and spice notes.

French Onion from scratch in the instant pot!

From frozen soup bone to rich and flavourful soup in an hour. You have to try this frugal and wholesome soup….

This is our family’s favourite cold weather meal, adapted from a Green Egg smoker recipe. When in stock we use a mix of ground beef and our decased Farmer Sausage. Sweet potatos have a lower glycemic index than white potatos, and are more nutritionally complete. In the smoker there is a slight carmelization effect that really makes this dish stand out.

Does it seem like every bug is going around trying to bring you down in the homestretch to the holidays?  This hearty soup is loaded with nutrients and there is really nothing like it for snuggling up with the family in front of fire.  A warm cozy hug in a bowl!
