Revenue model
- Direct Meat Sales: TK Ranch generates revenue through direct-to-consumer sales of grass-fed and finished beef, pasture-raised pork, soy and corn-free chicken, free-range turkey, and lamb. Products are sold online with home delivery or curbside pickup. They also offer bulk meat orders including beef halves, quarters, and eighths.
- Community Support Programs: TK Ranch offers a 'Feed a Cow' program where customers can contribute to feeding their cattle during difficult seasons. Options include feeding for a day ($5), week ($35), or month ($150).
- Free-Range Eggs: TK Ranch sells free-range eggs direct to customers at $8-10/dozen depending on size. Eggs are uninspected and cannot be sold through the online store, so they are added to meat orders separately.
