A wooden fence with white handwritten lettering reading 'Crooked Creek Farm 3745'. Behind the fence is a pond or small lake surrounded by green grass and fields, with a colorful sunset sky above. The location appears rural and peaceful.

At Crooked Creek Ranch, life is all about Faith, family, and raising good cattle (and boys!).

We love sharing a glimpse of ranch life—the hard work, the laughs, the food, and the joy we find in everyday moments.

Brandon and Erin Glover and their boys-the Crooked Creek Ranch cattle-hands.

Meet the Glovers.

I’m Erin, and these are my boys: my husband Brandon (isn’t he cute?!?) and our sons David, Grant, and Logan. They fill my days with laughter, creativity, and plenty of dirt. Life on the farm is never dull—and it’s the heart of everything I share here. From faith lessons to favorite recipes, I hope to inspire you to embrace a slower, joy-filled way of living. Kick off your boots and stay a while!
