Triple B Ranch
Fall cookouts are the perfect time to showcase hearty meats, and Triple B Ranch has you covered. Triple B Ranch is a family-run business that takes pride in every step of the process—from tending the fields to caring for their animals—ensuring sustainable and ethical farming practices.
With their grand opening in August 2025, they were able to showcase a variety of cuts and preparations that’ll make your grill or smoker the star of the evening. Whether you’re roasting ribs, grilling steak, or craving something a little different like schnitzel, your mouth will be watering before even lighting the grill!

Norton Land and Cattle Co.
For tender, grass-fed beef raised without hormones or antibiotics, look no further than Norton Land and Cattle Co. Their brisket and tenderloin are ideal for slow cooking or smoking, making it easy to prep ahead of time for your cookout. Your meal will be well worth the wait as you’ll have a delicious, melt-in-your-mouth main course that’s perfect for any season.
Veggies, Fruits, Flowers & More!
Not in the mood for meat? No problem. Local farm stands are brimming with fresh fall produce like squash, potatoes, and carrots perfect for roasting, baking, or making into hearty salads. If you’re looking for something to sweeten the deal, pick up some freshly picked apples, pears, and pumpkins to bake into a pie. Bonus points: add a few seasonal flowers to your table to create a cozy, fall-inspired atmosphere.
