Want to see the M5 operation and get background information on all of their enterprises?
Join Mary and Brian Heffernan, masterminds behind the renowned Five Marys Ranch brand, as they bring their highly acclaimed workshop series to your local and regional communities through the M5 Ranch to Retail - Siskiyou Economic Development Program!
With their unmatched experience in building successful businesses, the Heffernans are eager to share their priceless insights and help fellow entrepreneurs achieve unprecedented success.
Ranch to Retail includes tours of the Five Marys ranch, harvest, butchery, selling, shipping operations as well as restaurant and hospitality tours and background information.
Learn about the story of how they built a fully-integrated successful direct-to-consumer ranching operation, their journey to selling and shipping their ranch raised beef, pork and lamb, how they feed & finish 500+ beef cattle year-round on the ranch (as well as pastured pork and heritage lamb), how they built their customer base, navigated shipping operations and logistics, built a direct to consumer website, and more recently how they designed, engineered, permitted and built from the ground up - a custom USDA butcher plant and are setting up a custom USDA Mobile Kill Trailer on the ranch with Temple Grandin barn holding pens.
Learn more about how they built our audience, reach millions of people every year, sell to tens of thousands of customers every year and find creative ways to grow and make a first-generation ranching operation profitable.
