Your organization is at a strategic crossroads and you need an unbiased, experienced strategic partner to assist identifying a path, creating a viable road map, and then assisting in the execution.

This name honors the Spanish heritage and spirit of Rancho Almasomos’s founder, Kat Massey, and invokes the feeling of oneness visitors can expect to find here. There are some key factors that helped Kat craft its name: the transformative energy of the land, the human connections made during its readying, and the living organism known as a #biodynamic #farm. The striking beauty and existential purpose of the land teach lessons of humility, respect, and balance. #Biodynamicfarming illustrates how interconnected humans and nature should be to protect both life forms. These fundamental pieces make Rancho Almasomos an experience that is from #soil to #soul. Visitors from near and far can join together here at Rancho Almasomos as this is a destination for all souls to gather and find sanctuary among one another. We are Rancho Almasomos Show less
