About Us
In 2003, our founder Bart Simmons fulfilled a lifelong dream when he purchased the 2S Ranch located 50 miles west of DFW in Palo Pinto, Texas.
Over the next decade he transformed the ranch, replacing acres and acres of cedar trees (which heavily tax the water supply, and in fact, are foreign to Texas) with beautiful oak savannahs filled with native Texas grasses. He wanted the 2S Ranch to be built on sustainability, which is why great care was taken to restore its land and soil.
After a decade of work, the 2S Ranch had enough acreage of quality Texas grasses to begin providing 100% grass fed beef.
Bart could have sold the meat to a lot of different places, but instead he decided to provide customers with a unique opportunity to be able to get to know their rancher and meat provider. So, in 2014, Bart opened The Provision House in order to deliver 100% grass fed beef right from his ranch to your door.
Our Practices
The Provision House provides meats from the 2S Ranch, as well as meats from other ranches that share the values of the 2S Ranch. Those values include:
The sustainable care of the land and soil | When the land is healthy the wildlife & livestock are healthy.
The humane treatment of animals | A lifetime diet of grasses, forbes & browse in open pasture. No confinement.
The promotion of healthy living by providing people with healthy meats | Healthy land creates healthy livestock providing all humanity with nutrient rich provisions.
The development of healthy relationships | The 2S brand stands for two families, Simmons and Sculley (the maiden name of Bart's wife Martye). Please consider the 2S brand as a seal of our family's commitment to serve you and your family with integrity and excellence.
