About Us
Why "Remark-able Ranch"?
Our family name is Kramer. When you were young, did you ever try to use the word that is the spelling of your name backwards? Yea, we did too..."REMARK"! Why "Remark-able"?
We are a family with two very specially-abled young adults! Our son is a hard-working, Christian, outdoorsman, and full-time optometrist.
​
Our daughter was born with aphasia, which has always given her intellectual challenges. She is a beautiful socially-adjusted and loving adult whose biggest challenges are with language-based development. She may never be able to get a driver's license (a really disabling situation in the US!). But, she is able to do so much more than her diagnosis might make you think. We encourage everyone to EMBRACE THEIR ABILITIES. We want to focus on abilities so we like the word "able".
Our Mission
We began our mission in October 2023 by personally funding as many free experiential programs on the farm as we could manage for three organizations that support special needs individuals in Hancock and Henry counties.
We are now developing a business that can offer fun and educational experiences to the public at reasonable prices which generates funds to allow us to do more and offer better programs to the special needs community. The pictures you see in the section just below are from one afternoon visit by one group of some of our most favorite friends from "Adventures 4 You" in Hancock County. That day we did some rock painting, fed snacks to the highland cows, bottle fed a calf and had some laughs. It was a beautiful day with beautiful people - one example of a simple experience the Remark-Able Ranch offers!
A long-term vision is to grow this into a non-profit that can add value to the lives of many specially-abled individuals in our community for years to come.
But let's not get way ahead of ourselves!

We are just getting started!

Who We Are
We are primarily a breeder of Highland cattle. All of our cattle are purebred but not all are registered.
Did you know that Highland cattle were considered an at-risk breed until relatively recent years (read about that here). It was just in 2019 that this beautiful breed reached numbers enough to be removed from the Livestock Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List.
