Palmerita Farm & Ranch

Where our food story begins: 52,898 acres of organic farmland, cattle country, and wilderness wrapping the eastern approach to Alamo Lake State Park — thirty-three miles up a paved road from Wenden.

Palmerita Organics

1,200 acres converting to certified organic production under solar-powered irrigation — alfalfa, grass hay, small grains, and specialty crops, sold under our own label and feeding our own herd.

Cattle & Lucky 13 Beef

A 210-head cow-calf operation rotating across the combined 80,000-acre range, finished on Palmerita's own organic forage — the source of the premium Lucky 13 Beef line.

Lake & Wilderness Stays

Cabins, glamping tents, and full-hookup sites at the lake's quiet eastern shore — with farm tours, cattle work, stargazing, and trailhead staging for the off-road networks.
The integrated system

Two ranches, one continuous range

Palmerita and the Lucky 13 form one of the largest privately operated ranch systems in western Arizona. Cattle rotate between the northern and southern allotments across a continuous 80,000-acre range — improving land health and extending carrying capacity.

Palmerita's irrigated acres supply organic forage directly to the herd at cost. Beef and produce move straight from ranch to our own retail — the Wenden Country Market and the NahBone Saloon — at full margin, under one shared brand.

Guests cross-pollinate too: resort visitors tour the farm and lake; farm-stay guests discover the resort. Every property makes the others stronger.
