Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is really quite simple. You shouldn't have to worry about what goes into your food or the process that brought it to your table. We farm to provide for our family, and our primary concern is the health of our children (and new grandchild!) We want them to live long healthy lives and to one day inherit the world in the same condition in which it was passed on to us. For this reason we embrace all natural production methods and a sustainable land use ethic. These modern-day methods allow us to efficiently and reliably produce a quality product without sacrificing the age-old tradition of family farming or, most importantly, its principles of trust, community, and all-natural goodness.
The Ranch
Four Pines Ranch is located on 160 acres just outside Baker City, Oregon. Nestled against the Elkhorn mountains, we have a gorgeous view across the whole Baker valley to the Eagle Cap Mountains on the other side. We harvest a mix of grass hay, oats, and alfalfa, and raise grass-fed cattle every year.
Our Family
As we have stated many times before, Four Pines Ranch is family owned and operated. We are proud to be
a family ranch. It is hard work, but very satisfying and we are passionate about what we do. After all, what could be more important than providing people with safe, healthy food?
Scott Jager
Scott bought what is now Four Pines Ranch in 1999. It was
in pretty bad shape, but due to Scott's hard work it has been
turned into a beautiful piece of property and a profitable
ranching operation. Scott is the big boss and handles
everything when the kids are away at school.
Zach, Amy, and Bryton Jager 
Zach lives with his wife Amy and his son Bryton in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he is going to Med School.
Zach loves to come home and work on the ranch when he can get away. He will be relocating next year for his residency program and we hope that he ends up close by!
Matt Jager 
Matt is a senior this year, studying music and geography at Oregon State University. He helps his dad on the ranch when he isn't off traveling.
Matt did all of our photography, design, and also made the website. He can be contacted with any website problems or job offers at matt@fourpinesranch.com.
Ben Jager 
Ben also studies at Oregon State University. He is a junior this year, and is thinking about going into optometry. He spends just about every summer home on the ranch helping out.
