RAV: March 2018 Update

The rains we received in February made for a very green welcome to spring! March was another busy month with roundup at the big ranch (Rancho Ojo de Agua) followed by transporting cows and heifers back and forth to prepare for the upcoming calving season.

Carnísimo is Expanding

Since 2009, Carnísimo and Café Sed have operated side by side...

But this past February, Katie closed the door

And re-opened in a new location

Café Sed outgrew their old location and moved into a historic building that offers more space and new opportunity.  And left space for Carnísimo to expand into the restaurant business.  We project to open in April.
