"In our restaurant Shan, we strive to serve local, humanely-raised meat whenever possible. And we're so pleased to be working with Wickens Ranch -- their beef is conscientiously raised on grass, in Montana, then finished with peas and barley they grow themselves, and it shows. It's some of the most flavorful beef I've ever worked with. Working with meat like this is such a great privilege, as a cook."

"As a Chef from Brooklyn, farms weren’t a stone's throw away. While working in the concrete jungle sure we used great products, but something was missing - the connection between the rancher and the chef. After meeting Eric Wickens and hearing about his humane handling and other details, like his unique finishing feed, and basically the whole life story of his cattle, I knew I wanted to feature them in our restaurant (also in my home). It’s seriously the best meat I ever tried and it's such an honor as a chef to get a chance to cook with Wickens Beef. You don’t need to be a chef to cook with Wickens, just someone who really appreciates beef and knowing were their food comes from, because the meat speaks for itself." 

"I’ve been working in high-end kitchens for almost 30 years.  In that time, I’ve worked with many premium beef producers and until I met Eric Wickens I had started to think beef was just beef.  Eric’s attention to detail and the way he cares for his herd is so apparent when you taste anything from Wickens ranch.  The meat is beautifully marbled, with rich, buttery fat and the most tender, nutrient dense flesh I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with!  Wickens beef is a staple in my kitchen at the Armory hotel, as well as what I feed my family at home."

"I'm a professionally trained chef of 25 years, and I own and operate a catering and food truck business. Sourcing Montana-raised beef has been the cornerstone of our business model since its inception in 2014, and partnering with Wickens Ranch this past year has elevated our finished product. Being able to source high-quality beef directly from the ranch lowered our costs, improved our yields, and best of all, our hard earned dollars remain in Montana. Wickens beef has a unique flavor profile because of their finishing process, and there is no comparable product on the market currently. Supporting Montana ranchers and farmers is the best thing we can do for our neighbors and our state, and we happen to produce some of the best food products in the country. I don't just buy Wickens beef because it's special, I also buy Wickens beef because they are a family of hard working folks."

"Calling all carnivores - you deserve the best tasting, most flavorful, highest quality beef available and Wickens Ranch has the best beef in Montana and beyond. I have been a professional chef for 23 years, in the hospitality industry for almost 30 years, and I own and operate Seasonal Montana. I love the taste of Wickens Ranch beef, and the commitment to quality ranching by the Wickens family. I value customer service and the time it takes to run a quality business. Eric Wickens, his family, and their staff run a top-notch business. A business where the customer always matters and getting us the most delicious beef around is their top priority. They are a 4th generation Montana ranching family that is committed to regenerative ranching practices, producing exceptionally delicious beef and improving everyone’s access to local food.
