Finding the beauty in simple farm life and the joy in tending to the good, positive, and pure.

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, we believe that life on the farm is all about fun, family, and the joy of raising cows. And boys. Oh those boys.

We invite you to explore our blog where you’ll find us living life to the fullest. Whether you’re a fellow farmer or just a farmer at heart, we hope to inspire you to not take life too seriously and live a life worth living. It is too short for anything less.

Welcome to the Creek. Where God, family, and cattle reign supreme.

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 inspire me daily and fill my life with so much creativity and joy. Their laughter, curiosity, and love of adventure are the heart of this blog, and they serve as my muses in everything I share. We cover everything from their wild antics and meaningful life lessons to helpful products, tips, and recipes we enjoy here on the ranch. We want to inspire you to embrace life. Kick off your boots, pull up a chair, and hang out with us for a while!
