For years, families in Bayfield have come to L-J Ranch for locally raised beef. As we continue rebuilding and growing our herd toward a long-term dream of a small farmstand at the top of the property, we’ve partnered with trusted local ranching programs to carefully source premium American Wagyu ground beef that reflects the quality and flavor standards we value for our own family.

Each release is intentionally selected by our family and offered in limited quantities.

Preorders are now open on our website, and we’ll also have beef available at Locals Night at LePlatt's Pond next Tuesday while supplies last. To view package options and join the preorder list, visit our website. 🤎

Wedding planning tip most couples learn too late: your guest list controls your entire budget.

Ten extra guests doesn’t sound like a big deal… until you see the bill. 👀

Your guest count affects everything — not just food.
Staffing. Rentals. Tables. Chairs. Sometimes even additional tents.

As a venue owner, I see this happen all the time. Couples start with a vision… and then the guest list quietly grows.

My best advice?
Set your realistic guest number early. It will save you stress, money, and some very hard conversations later.

Your guest list shapes your entire wedding day.
Choose it intentionally. 🤍

We’d be honored to host you at LePlatt’s Pond.
