Get a taste of the culinary experience and the tradition of wildlife conservation at the ranch, and hear Chef Ric tell his story.
Culinary abundance sourced from the ranch’s own bounty
Spread Oaks Ranch serves its own house-cured heritage hams and house-made sausages, as well as ranch-made pickles and other house-canned produce such as carrots, okra, and peppers. Produce is grown in our greenhouse and our shade house. Our chef lards the pantry with jellies and jams made from the ranch’s wild fruit, including dewberries, elderberries, and mustang grapes. Spread Oaks Ranch proudly serves ranch-raised proteins, including Katahdin lamb, Angus beef, and organically raised chickens and ducks for eggs and meat. The cuisine … is … amazing.
Historical Texas roots
The first two Anglo owners of land that now comprises portions of Spread Oaks Ranch were members of Stephen F. Austin’s “Old Three Hundred,” a group of settlers who the Mexican government enticed to settle its northern province of Texas.
