Full Profile

Founded by the Poncia family in Marin County, Stemple Creek Ranch has farmed the Tomales Bay watershed since the early 1900s. Al Poncia received the USDA NRCS Excellence in Conservation Award in 2002, the agency's highest conservation honor, and the ranch's current generation continues that legacy with multiple active certifications. Their pastures hold both CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) USDA Organic certification and Marin Organic Certified Agriculture (MOCA) status.

In 2025, Stemple Creek earned the Leopold Conservation Award, one of the most prestigious recognitions in American land stewardship. The ranch is also Audubon Certified — Grazed on Bird Friendly Land, recognizing its habitat value for migratory and native bird species. Stemple Creek participates in the Marin Carbon Project, a scientific research program studying carbon sequestration in rangeland soils.

Products include 100% grass-fed and finished beef and lamb, pasture-raised pork (non-GMO grain fed), and organic pasture-raised chicken. Orders ship nationwide via overnight or two-day delivery with dry ice, packed in-house. Shipping is free within California; a $49 flat fee applies to all other states.

Orders must be placed by Sunday night to ship that week.
