About TomKat Ranch

At Simple Livestock, we are proud to highlight the incredible work of TomKat Ranch, a pioneer in regenerative agriculture. TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation (TKREF) is dedicated to producing healthy food on working lands in a way that regenerates the planet and inspires others to take action. The foundation’s mission is rooted in sustainable and holistic ranching practices that aim to transform five million acres to regenerative land management, promoting a healthier planet and food system.

A Legacy of Stewardship

Founded by Kat Taylor and Tom Steyer, TomKat Ranch is an 1,800-acre grassfed cattle ranch nestled in the San Francisco Bay Area. Kat Taylor’s passion for environmental stewardship and community support, inspired by her childhood experiences, led to the creation of this ranch. TomKat Ranch serves as a “learning laboratory” where innovative methods of regenerative agriculture are explored, practiced, and shared with the broader community. The ranch bridges the gap between rural and urban communities, demonstrating that agriculture can be a powerful force for environmental and social change.

Regenerative Ranching: A Holistic Approach

TomKat Ranch practices regenerative ranching, which emphasizes the health of the entire ecosystem. By using holistic management and innovative tools, TKREF manages livestock grazing to improve soil health, support biodiversity, and sequester carbon. These methods have shown that rangelands can produce nutritious food while also providing crucial environmental benefits, such as wildlife habitat, water filtration, and carbon storage.

Catalyzing Change Beyond the Ranch

Through its Fork to Farm partnerships and outreach, TKREF seeks to drive a regenerative food movement that empowers farmers and ranchers to adopt sustainable practices. By engaging with communities, schools, and food systems nationwide, TomKat Ranch is at the forefront of a shift towards agriculture that supports both human health and the environment.

Join the Regenerative Journey

At TomKat Ranch, collaboration is key. By hosting workshops, field walks, and discussions, TKREF brings together diverse voices to advance the cause of regenerative agriculture. This commitment to shared learning and innovation makes TomKat Ranch a leader in the movement to restore our planet through thoughtful, science-based land management.

Simple Livestock is inspired by the mission and impact of TomKat Ranch, and we are excited to share their story as part of our own commitment to regenerative practices. Together, we can create a future where agriculture nourishes both people and the planet.
