EPISODE 022- Loren Poncia - Stemple Creek Ranch

Loren Poncia was born and raised in Tomales, CA. Loren follows in the footsteps of his parents, Al and Cathie Poncia, as the 4th generation of his family to steward their land. A graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, with a major in Dairy Science and Ag Business, Loren always dreamed of coming back to the ranch to pursue his passion in agriculture. Loren oversees the entire ranching operation, and spends countless hours carefully studying genetics with the goal of raising grass-fed and finished beef that is tender, well-marbled, and tastes just as good as, if not better than, grain finished meat.

Podcast was recorded on location in their “Schoolhouse” AirBnb that is available to rent. Appreciate Loren sharing his story and explaining to us about regenerative farming and the arduous process it takes to make quality beef, pork and lamb.
