Spruce Park Ranch was founded in 1964 by Les Trautman. He began by raising purebred Hereford cattle, barley, and forage crops. In 1972, he married Marilyn Attwood; and together they farmed their land, which is located south of Spruce Grove, Alberta. They had two children, Karen and Bradley. In 1989, they started raising sheep as a hobby for Marilyn and the kids. One year later, they purchased their first purebred Katahdin (Ka-TAH-din) ewes and today the flock consists of more than 100 Katahdin sheep. Since then, they have grown to love this gentle but hardy breed. Spruce Park Ranch prides itself on being a family business. With the help of their now-grown children; son-in-law, James; and grandchildren, this family’s goal is to become a leader in their industry.
Today, Spruce Park Ranch has evolved into a Country Store specializing in natural, organic food products and primitive country home décor. Whenever possible, food is from local producers such as honey, eggs, buffalo, chicken, and grains. Of course the beef and lamb are still raised right at home. With goal to provide healthy options for clients, Spruce Park Ranch has also extended its services provided by offering Health & Wellness seminars geared towards making lifestyle changes.
So if you dream of a healthy future, long for nutritious foods, or just want to cozy your home with the warmth that prim décor provides, take a beautiful drive to the country and relax in our store.
