Employee Feature : Guillermo Garcia

This month, we want to introduce everyone to our long time employee, Guillermo Garcia.  Guillermo started working at Moriah Ranch in 2013, as a seasonal H2A worker. It was soon evident that he possessed many talents for ranching and certainly had a passion for it. After several years of returning in the Spring and leaving in the Fall, we realized he was the perfect candidate for a green card. It was a long slow process , but finally he was approved! We couldn't do what we do without him. He can operate any piece of equipment and is always a friendly helper to our hay customers. He has become a great mechanic and isn't afraid to tackle anything from an engine overhaul to rebuilding  a tractor. He's our behind the scenes hero, and an invaluable employee here.

 We took the opportunity to ask him a few questions about his life and give everyone insight on who he is.


~ Where were you born?  "I was born in Puruandiro, Michoacán Mexico."

~ Why did you want to come to the United States?  "I came to the United States for better life opportunities ."

~ What do you like about living here? "I like the cultural diversity here."

~ What do you miss the most from home? " I miss my family."

~ What is your favorite season on the ranch? "I like the Summer & Fall the best."

~ What is your least favorite job on the ranch? "I do NOT like feeding in blizzard conditions! I don't like hay in my face or socks!"

~ What is your favorite food? " Definitely tamales!"

~ What are your hobbies? " I enjoy leather crafting and fly fishing."


Whether you're coming here for a visit or to buy hay, please take the time to meet Guillermo!

Spring Lambing

Despite what the calendar says, winter is still very much here in North Park.

He begins his day before most arise, trying to plan the financial side. Office work must be done early you know…you never know where the day might go. Then he gets a bite to eat as the sun and wind meet his coat and feet. On the way to the shop, he works a path through the snow and hopes the tractor will start. So many hungry mouths relying on that plan, lets pray there won’t be a delay and the wind claims the land. If all goes well, there’s only 2 hours to plow and blow…and what a sight to see those lovely eyes glow. He carefully gets that wire gate, and spreads out summer's heavenly hay. Grateful mouths devour the nourishment, his heart full of God's grace…another winter's night is behind them all. A lonely howl is not far, another desperate plea for a meal, you see. The once crystal clear mountain stream, so inviting and dear…is now a ridged ice field, needing his attention. The stock must quench the staggering thirst…created by winter's arid condition. A shovel and pick are all he requires, good thing he has last night's trail to follow. Crags and jags of ice chip away, blue and gray hues drift the neighbors way. Somewhere in that frozen white ocean, are tubs of vitamins and minerals for the kine. Maybe in time we can find.
