Show Description
Jason Wrich is a first-generation rancher in Colorado and founder of Wrich Ranches, a farm-to-table brand that serves local Colorado customers grass-fed and finished natural beef.

With a special focus on the Beef Initiative and grassroots efforts, Jason does a great job of bringing these two seemingly disparate concepts closer than ever before. Join us for a candid exploration of the essence of ranching in the digital age.
