Food Ranch in Joe’s Valley Utah Closing Jan. 24th, 2018
It is with great sadness that we report the Food Ranch in Orangeville, Utah will be closing its doors Jan.24th, 2019. In an instagram post, the owners of the Food Ranch noted that they tried many different ways to make the iconic store work financially but could not come up with a viable solution.
On a personal note, the Food Ranch has been a hub of warmth, great internet, some pretty tasty chicken fingers, and those donuts! Next to Lago Linda’s in the Red River Gorge and Miguel’s, it was likely the next most climber friendly place we have encountered on the road.
Thanks to everyone who was so great to climbers over these years and we hope for your return!
