Explore the Meadows
Mesta Meadows Ranch is family owned by Ed And Terri Crowley. The ranch raises Scottish Highland cattle, beef cattle, pork, sheep, and poultry on lush Ozark Highland pastures. Our goal is to provide the best quality food to our customers humanely raised and processed utilizing regenerative farming practices. The ranch has a grade A sheep dairy, we serve individuals, restaurants, and retails stores in Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. In addition to participating in farmers markets in Cape Girardeau and Missouri, we can ship frozen beef and lamb to Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Our ranch started by providing fine wool (French Merino and Cormo) to customers across North America and Northern Europe. We continue this heritage today and also provide merino socks and other wool products via farmers markets, this web site, our on-ranch store (the Mason Jar) and Etsy.
Our most recent addition is the new Grade A dairy manufacturing facility we have launched called Atelait Creamery. Atelait Creamery provides premium french custard ice cream, pasturized sheep's milk, and yogurt. We welcome tours and visitors!

Ed and Terri made us feel right at home. We met the animals, learned how they run the farm, and watched fireflies at night. The sheep's milk? Amazing. We can't wait to come back.
Ed and Terri welcomed us like family from the moment we arrived. We toured the farm, fed the animals, and loved every minute with their beautiful dogs. Easy parking, perfect spot for our rig, and hands down our favorite Harvest Host stop yet. Already planning our return.
What a great place to stay! Jack was awesome! He took us on a tour and we were able to feed and pet all of the critters. the store had amazing meats and cheese and wool items. parking was a breeze even in our 40 ft rig and tow vehicle. I wish I could live there!
