Our Story
Black Dog Ranch is a small, veteran-owned ranch and flower farm in Cheney, Washington, run by Megan and Josh. As veterans, they bring intention and care to how the land is managed, with a focus on permaculture-inspired practices, integrated livestock, and long-term land stewardship. The ranch is less about chasing maximum output and more about doing things the right way - working with natural systems, building healthy soil, and making sure the land is better off year after year.
How the Land Is Managed
Land at Black Dog Ranch is managed with a focus on long-term health rather than short-term output. Goats and pigs are integrated into the system to help clear land for growing and naturally contribute amendments back to the soil. Chemical inputs are avoided whenever possible, and the goal is to continually reduce reliance on outside inputs by building fertility and resilience directly into the land itself.

The Ranch Dogs
Like any working ranch, Black Dog Ranch comes with a full crew of dogs — eight of them, to be exact. Ranging from a Great Pyrenees down to a Chihuahua, they’re very much part of daily life here.
The Pigs
These guys are the workhorses of the farm. Between clearing grass and brush to reduce wildfire risk, turning dirt to create new growing space, and just being cute, these guys are cherished members of the family here.
