About Us
From Red 7 Ranch owner, Teddy Omlor.
The Red 7 Ranch was officially founded in 2020. The idea of the business began when my father in law Loren and I started to raise some animals together a few years earlier. We both have a history and love for farming and take great comfort and pride in knowing where our meat comes from and how the animals are raised. All of our animals and feed are locally sourced and are finished in West Michigan between our farms and farmers in Coopersville and Holland.
Eventually I decided to withdraw some savings and sell my quad that I loved to buy a small building, a couple freezers, and some equipment to open a retail store. Farming and having a meat market had always been a dream of mine and with my first child due in February 2020 I figured that the second best time to start something to make a better life for my family would be now since yesterday had passed. After doing only custom processed beef/pork initially our state licensed retail store officially opened in the Spring of 2021. Our specialty is raising beef/pork for custom processing but our retail store and meat bundles have become the staple meat source of many families locally. I like to say that our retail store serves as advertising for our custom processing options but we very much appreciate our retail customers as well!
Our mission is simple: 1. To provide our customers with the highest quality meat from animals that are ethically and properly raised. 2. To stand for what is right. We are a company founded on quality product and American values.
Another goal of ours is to give back and we are committed to giving back to and bettering our local communities. We promise to always give a minimum of 5% of all profits to local charities and causes. If you have a cause or organization you recommend we support please send us a message and a brief note explaining why the organization is important to you and what the organization stands for.
If you have never bought meat from a local farmer I ask that you please give us or another local farm a chance. I truly believe you will taste the difference in the meat compared to what's in the supermarket and you'll be helping a neighbor.
Thank you for your support and for helping make my dream a reality. I truly hope we get an opportunity to feed you and your family and show you what great meat tastes like. God bless and I hope to see you soon!
The Name:
A popular question we hear is what does our name and logo represent? Our name/logo pays homage to the 7 red stripes on the American Flag. Simply put it is a way to show our patriotism, honor the flag, and serve as a reminder that we have much to be thankful for. It is designed to remember and honor those who have served our country and serve as a constant reminder that we are an American company and have a responsibility to chase our dreams and ensure the sacrifice and service of many were worth it. We are indebted to many for their sacrifices and it is our goal to honor them and promote the sense of gratitude and responsibility that drives us to all.
See you soon!
