History of our Ranch

Once upon a time, there was a farm, a family and a couple of cows ... how a couple of European city slickers escaped Nazi Europe to become dairy farmers in West Marin, then helped launch an environmental conservation and organic farming revolution.

Softcover: 20 pages with a lot of photos, that tells our story.

Excerpt: 

In late 1949, family matched pop up with mom. He flew to New York to meet her … twice, actually, because the first time, she wasn’t even there!

After 16 days, he said “Well, I know.” (He meant, he knew that she was ‘the one.’)

Mom said, “I need more time.” 

He said, “Well, hurry up. I need to get back to my cows,” and pulled out some photos of the farm.

“Put those away,” Mom shot back. “I don’t want to marry you for the cows.”

It was too late, though. She was hooked.

People often ask, “Straus? Like the milk?” The short answer is that Straus Home Ranch is owned and managed by the three ‘non-dairy’ Straus siblings, and isn’t affiliated with Straus Family Creamery … But the longer answer is way more interesting.
