Customer Testimonials
TK Ranch offers humanely raised, quality grass-fed beef and lamb, heritage pork, free-range chicken and turkey. We offer the following testimonials from our customers.
We are very excited about TK Ranch products. Never have I enjoyed a smokie more. The recipe for their processed meats is really tasty, and you don't get any nasty aftertaste because they don't use nitrates. We love their convenient packaging. The ground beef may call itself lean, but it's better than any extra lean meat bought from the grocery store. You can tell they don't add water to their meat because it grills beautifully. Delivery is so convenient and their ordering process is easy. We highly recommend TK Ranch!!

Hi Colleen!
I just wanted to say thank you for our TK order! It's been a while since we have had the pleasure of enjoying your products. We are trying to move towards a more plant based diet and have decided to get very strict with the meat that we do eat and (and especially) feed to our children. We knew there was only one place we would trust to ensure that our meat was of the best quality to put in their little growing bodies! I have to be honest, the thought meat has been turning my stomach a bit lately, so i was very surprised when i opened the TK boxes and found that i was actually looking forward to making supper with all of the goodies inside!!
I'm sure you probably hear this all the time, but I just wanted to let you know that we feel so incredibly lucky to have a family run farm like yours in our area. It is people like you that give me hope for the future of our children's food supply. We need more ranches like TK!!
I know that farming is no easy task, especially the way you guys do it! So THANK YOU for doing it! You have no idea how much it means to us!

I made burgers tonight with your beef (accompanied with fries cooked in duck fat: best fat for your heart). Simply put, I had forgotten the taste of great beef. Your beef brought back memories of what meat should or used to taste like. Yes, it is the healthiest but at the end, taste is what matters.
It is awesome. I have such respect for people like you and what they stand for. Being healthy does not mean one gives up taste. Quite the contrary. In addition, the way your beef has been processed/cut is wonderful (NY strip loins are so well cut as are the tenderloins, everything in fact).
In my work (pianist, teacher, performer, recording artist, etc.), many people have theories on how one should do things. Move your fingers this way, sit this way, think this way, etc. The "method" takes over. At the end, all of these theories might have great values but at the end it comes down to one thing: how good you sound. You bring back health into stupendous food.
What you do "sounds" inspired. I am a fan.
Thank you.

My family and I placed our first order with TK Ranch with very little expectations, but we were blown away! The quality of the meat is second to none — even our 3 year old who usually balks at the sight of meat devoured the chicken and even steak! Not only is the meat amazing but so is the Biggs family. Their dedication to quality and to ethically raised animals is inspiring. I recommend TK Ranch to everyone and I can guarantee my family will never eat store bought 'meat' again.

I would just like to congratulate you on your wonderful efforts! I don't eat meat, personally, but my husband does and for years I've struggled with it, until I found your products. I honestly thought all farming and farmers were the same (i.e. nuts to the animal's welfare, its only about the bottom line!, etc.) but I truly believe you are different (I was told to go to farms individually and check them out for myself, but considering I can't even go to the zoo without getting upset, I'm really taking your word for it!). I've shed many a tears frustrated with stories about today's farming industry (force feeding chickens, battery cages, separating calves and cows so early, not letting pigs see the light of day their entire lives, etc.), and I've been duped into "organic" meat and "free range" eggs, and although I agree they are somewhat healthier for the animals, it's not all it's cracked up to be (who can one trust?!). Honestly, I don't believe that humans were meant to be vegetarians, but I just can't fathom giving the farming industry any of my money considering they represent everything against which I stand!
I truly believe that your methods should be LAW. I know this is Canada, and I know this is Alberta, and Animal Rights are far from the top of anyone's priority lists here, but I think we should shake this stigma and become leaders for the rest of the country and, hopefully one day, the rest of the world. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if your initiative is leading or will eventually lead to taking this sort of action, I would truly love to help! Please let me know if there is anything I can do! Until then, I will keep buying your products and spreading the word!
Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful, TRULY HUMANE product to the public!! Congratulations again and best of luck!!

Hello Colleen, We LOVE the chickens. They taste like CHICKENS! A remarkable thing. I don't think I have ever had one [taste like this] before yours.
Thanks!

Dear TK. I'm an active adult that eats "paleo" -- essentially meat, fruit and veggies. So finding a quality source of grass fed beef is super high priority for me and my family. I've been buying your products for the last 6 months or so from community natural foods.
Recently I visited the new Calgary farmer's market in search of a deal on bulk red meat. There was another dealer there but I was disappointed when they told me their animals were grain finished. This prompted me to visit your web site to see what TK's practices were and I am overjoyed to know you use no grain feeding.
This is essentially a long blathering thank you. :) I also learned from your sure that you do direct orders so I'll be doing that very soon.
Kindest regards,

I just wanted to let you know how wonderfully informative your website was. I found more information on your website about grass fed vs. grass fed [grain finished] beef then I did through 10 Google searches on Alberta beef.
I am also excited to find out this is an ethically raised, no antibiotics or chemicals are used and the beef is grass fed. I am excited to try your product this weekend and wanted to say I will be mentioning your product to people I know.
I will let you know how my experience goes and look forward to sampling more of your products in the future.
