Motley Crew Ranch
Buellton, California (Santa Rita Hills), USA
Quality assessment
Caveats
Direct fetch of the farm's own domain (motleycrewranch.com /about and /marketplace) failed both attempts via tavily extract (tooling-cannot-read-it, likely Squarespace bot wall) -- NOT treated as refutation. Identity and details corroborated instead via 3 independent sources: LA Mag chef-interview piece naming Jernmark's direct relationship and Buellton location, Observer piece confirming Buellton + 'mature beef' procurement, and a Cali Coast Wine Country feature (full 10.7k-char extract) confirming address (225 McMurray Rd, Buellton), species raised, and practices. Tavily SEARCH snippets from the farm's own /about and root pages also match this description verbatim but were each under the 500-char thin-extract threshold, so not used as the primary citation.
