Five Marys Ranch Raised

Featuring 75 family-friendly recipes straight from the ranch, this is a “beautiful, candid, heartfelt window into the life, kitchen, and home of [a] wildly successful rancher and businesswoman” (Erin Benzakein, New York Times–bestselling author of Floret Farm’s A Year in Flowers).

Explore home and family on the ranch with Mary Heffernan—rancher, entrepreneur, restaurateur, wife and mother. Together with her husband, Brian, they own Five Marys Farms and are raising their four daughters—all named Mary—while pasture-raising cattle, pigs, and heritage lambs. Their work ethic is as strong as their commitment to family, and Mary believes in nourishing meals shared together—in their cozy cabin in winter and around the outdoor camp kitchen in summer.
