Welcome back to the On Land Podcast, a show about the people shaping the future of the American West.  

Today we’re chatting with Caroline and Justin Nelson, the powerhouse ranching couple behind Little Creek Feed in Townsend, Montana, and the owners of Little Creek Lamb & Beef, a direct-to-consumer meat company that prioritizes care for the land, the animals, and the people sustained by both. 

I recently drove up to Townsend to see Caroline and Justin’s feed store for a piece I wrote in our spring print issue of On Land magazine. We quickly became fast friends – and as you listen, I think you’ll understand why. 

We talk about what it was like to start a business while expecting their first child, why they’re so committed to quality local products and top-notch customer service, the decline of community gathering spaces in rural areas, the origins and growth of their meat business, and so much more.
