Apparently they have a 540 acre ranch just SE of the city and stock caribiu sausages, bison ribs, homemade sauces and preserves. Has anybody been or even heard of this place in the past 2 years? Open Friday and Saturdays 10 am to 3 pm until mid September 128ST and 226AVE SE 403.410.7417 crmr.com/ranch Thu Aug 06 19:47:13 -0700 2009 136379 cdn 1 4924759 A related thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/638699 You may have eaten some of their product already. "Today, the Ranch produces much of the game meat served in the three Canadian Rocky Mountain Resort lodges, as well as Cilantro, Divino, The Ranche, and Velvet restaurants in Calgary. The popularity of these "heritage" and "adventurous" game meats is phenomenal. Guests, food writers and connoisseurs are wild about Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch game meats! Now you can take your dinner guests on an exotic culinary adventure which was once available exclusively at Calgary's finest restaurants. Bon appetite!"

We used to pick up our order at Cilantro; I'll definitely be visiting their store although the press release lists a store on 17th Av, I wonder if this is a temporary location...by the sounds of it out by the ranch itself?
