A Little Slice of Heaven
Welcome to the Flying M Ranch
For more than 60 years, our family has been committed to conserving landscape biodiversity and developing sustainable ranching and farming practices.
Our Operation
The Flying M Ranch is a major agribusiness in eastern Merced County. We ranch and farm 24 square miles of grasslands and farmlands to produce cattle and crops for consumers across the United States. At the same time, we are leaders in grasslands conservation, with vast tracts of land in protection for future generations.

Passion & Innovation
Agriculture
Agriculture is our primary business. We partner with select ranchers and farmers from across the western United States.

Unrivaled Seclusion
Event Services
With thousands of acres of private and undeveloped land, we also provide services to a variety of non-agricultural industries, like aerospace, film and fashion.

Leaders in Conservation
Conservation
For nearly 40 years, we have worked with conservation groups to conserve the vernal pool grasslands of eastern Merced County, and we are interested in meeting new partners to continue this tradition.
