Tom and Kristi Patterson

Tom and Kristi Patterson share a deep commitment to leaving the land better for future generations. Inspired by his father Dr. Bill Patterson’s legacy, who bought the original core piece of the ranch in 1998, and a lifelong connection to ranching and farming, Tom brings both hands-on experience and a strong foundation in science to his stewardship of P Bar Ranch. Kristi has long been passionate about cooking and about understanding where food comes from and the impact it has on the earth, and she remains deeply committed to advancing nutritious, environmentally responsible food systems. Together, they are dedicated to producing high-quality, regeneratively raised food while caring for the land and serving their community. Together they take great joy in stewarding the land and bringing people together for inspiration and connection.
