Scroll down for UP-COMING EVENTS and APPEARANCES, recent NEWS, TESTIMONIALS and meet the animals and our team!Starlove Ranch
Hollie and Davey are vegan regenerative ranchers and Davey comes from a 6th generation cattle ranching family where hunting and cow/calf operations have been the normal course of business. But not anymore! The herds stories and their unique relationships is what finally convinced them both that they couldn’t continue the family tradition of cattle ranching.
Starlove Ranch is on track to have one of the most unique vegan wedding venues in the country. And during the midst of a pandemic I cant think of a better place to be with the love of your life. Its outdoors and the vegan vibe there is contagious!
