What does the next generation of ranching look like in Marin County? Meet Melissa Daniels of Cow Track Ranch 🌾✨

Building on her family’s legacy, Melissa is expanding traditional beef ranching into pasture-raised eggs, local honey, handcrafted soaps, tallow balms and infused salts, and farm stays. She’s part of a growing movement of young producers blending deep roots with creative, diversified agriculture.

Passing the torch is about more than keeping farmland open—it’s about giving new leaders space to innovate, adapt, and keep our local food system resilient. Keep up the amazing work Melissa, your parents would be very proud of you.

Congratulations to MALT co-founder Phyllis Faber on her induction into the Marin Women’s Hall of Fame! 💐✨
In 1980, biologist Phyllis Faber and dairy farmer Ellen Straus sat down at a kitchen table with a radical idea: to save the land, you had to save the farmers. That vision led to the creation of the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT)—the nation's first agricultural land trust.

Thanks to Phyllis's pioneering spirit and decades of tireless advocacy, MALT has now protected nearly 60,000 acres of West Marin’s working farms, ranches, and vital natural ecosystems.
Her lifelong commitment to land conservation, coastal protection, and agricultural stewardship continues to shape the landscapes we love today. We're proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition of a true environmental champion! 💚🌾

🌧️ Gearing up for El Niño on working landscapes

With a strong El Niño forecasted this winter, local farmers and ranchers are already prepping to safeguard soils, watersheds, and infrastructure. 🚜

Heavy rains bring vital moisture, but proactive prep—like erosion control and drainage maintenance—keeps our working lands resilient when atmospheric rivers arrive. 🌾✨

Proactive care now means healthier watersheds and protected working lands all winter long! Check out our story How to Prepare Your Ranch for El Nino and a Wet Winter written by Tristan Brenner, Senior Stewardship Manager at MALT-link in our bio to the blog.

It may be 90 degrees today, but what are you doing to ready your land? Share in the comments.
