Bently Ranch

We promote and develop a better ranching and farming model that can be used throughout the United States: a model that is both high in efficiency through diverse use of natural resources and grounded in the traditions of the Old West. Our commitment to the quality of life in Carson Valley means that we give back to our community. For example, the Buckeye Creek realignment project addressed flood threats that posed minimal danger to our properties, but had great potential to damage our neighbors. Keeping to our philosophy of protecting entire ecosystems and communities rather than merely our own interests, this project diverts a flood path away from a local community of farmers and into Bently pastures - in our opinion, it's better for us to lose a crop than for our neighbors to lose their homes and businesses, and for the shape of Carson Valley to be irreparably damaged. Ultimately, we believe in sharing and spreading the knowledge about sustainable farming. If you have any questions, or would like to visit, please contact us.
