Gabe and Molly Clark with Blue
Prior to purchasing the Ranch in 2005, Gabe Clark attended Bates College and went on to graduate from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Agricultural Economics. After college, Gabe operated a hay and cattle ranch in California for three years. He went on to obtain a Masters degree in Animal Science from the University of Maine, Orono. As his experience and knowledge developed, he came to understand the business of raising beef and decided to start his own ranch with the goal of providing a natural and healthy food product. In the winter of 2005, he started planning how he could work with the land at Cold Spring Ranch to produce high quality grass fed and finished beef. In the meantime, Gabe has become an active member of several boards and committees related to the agricultural communities of Maine and New England.
Molly has an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from Colby College and a Masters degree in Natural Resources from the University of Vermont. She also brings her experience of working on a cattle ranch in Colorado that combines environmental conservation with agricultural production. Currently Molly is completing a Family Nurse Practitioner program and is interested in the vast connections between food and health. In 2011, Gabe and Molly added to the family with the birth of their daughter, Maisie Wren.
The Clarks are committed to conserving the natural and agricultural heritage of the land, helping to create a robust local economy, and supplying high quality grass fed beef to the communities of Maine.
