Rivers Critters Ranch

Where RCR’s Heart Beats

Lost Sheep Found Rivers Critters Ranch

In 1997, we traded pavement for pasture, armed with nothing but animal love, a dash of naivete, and a stack of library books. Call it foolish faith—God had our back, and Rivers Critters Ranch was born in Hamburg, MN. We craved a simpler life for our daughter, to smell the roses amid country air. But then came the critters—sheep, goats, chickens, peafowl, Mediterranean donkeys, a mini horse, and more dogs and cats than we’d planned. They didn’t just join us; they reshaped us, hoof by feather, into RCR Organic Feed Store. 

From Chaos to Critter Harmony

What started as a rookie romp turned into 25+ years of organic grit. We ditched chemicals, hormones, and junk—our animals get fresh pasture, clean water, and Certified Organic, Non-GMO feed. Sheep graze beside goats, chickens strut with peafowl, and donkeys bray in tune with the mini horse—all thriving in sync with our family and this land. It’s sustainable living, Rivers Critters style—no shortcuts, just real food we test ourselves. That’s why We Use What We Sell at RCR Organic Feed Store!

The Critter Chronicles

Sheep taught us patience (and lost socks). Goats showed escape is an art. Chickens brought chaos and eggs. Peafowl strutted in color. Donkeys hauled heart, and the mini horse stole ours. Llamas and alpacas? Coming soon—they spit, we learned! Every critter shaped our ranch—and our feed. 

Why It Matters

Two decades of flops and wins built more than a ranch—it built RCR Organic Feed Store. Our critters proved organic feed isn’t just better; it’s essential. No pesticides, no antibiotics—just pure, Midwest-grown goodness. We Share What We’ve Learned so your herd can thrive too!

How did we get started?

When people first visit our farm, they often ask , "did either of you grow up on a farm?”


The answer is no. Cindy and I are self taught when it comes to farming. 


We started with a simple dream and moved from suburban life to the country, to form RCR and the Organic Feed Store.
