Welcome to Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch…home of Canada’s finest buffalo and elk products.
The ranch lies east of the Rockies, just southwest of Calgary on 540 acres of lush rolling foothills. We built the ranch in 1997 to meet the growing demand for ‘Rocky Mountain Cuisine’, which has become phenomenally popular at our Canadian Rocky Mountain Resort lodges and beyond. Today, we’re building some of finest herds of elk and buffalo in the world as part of our quest to provide the very best for our guests.
Rocky Mountain Cuisine is Born
Long before they started the Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch, Pat and Connie O’Connor owned the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts. It was in the kitchens of Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff, Deer Lodge in Lake Louise, and Emerald Lake Lodge in Yoho National Park that “Rocky Mountain Cuisine” was created. Guests from around the world quickly acquired a taste for this exciting new alternative food concept. Within five years, the venison, caribou, elk and buffalo dishes expertly combined with the very best local ingredients accounted for half the meals served at Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts.

Ranch Mission Statement
Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch was built to provide our customers with high quality elk and buffalo products produced in a natural, humane and sustainable manner. Meeting our goals and long term vision requires patience and commitment. Together with our direct communication links from the CRM Ranch to the end market, and our dedication of resources, expertise and passion, we will develop and truly control the quality of our product from conception to consumer.
