What if the greatest crisis we face isn’t political or medical at all… but our disconnection from food, land, each other, and God?
I’m Cloe, a 20-something ranch girl.
In my deepest heartbreak and rock-bottom moment, I uncovered a hard truth:
👉 We are completely disconnected—from the land, from where our food comes from, from one another, and even from God.
That disconnection is making us sick, lonely, and lost.
This book is your open gate back to a connected life.
A life where food comes from the earth, meat comes from a cow that ate grass, and the dinner table becomes the center of your home again.
Where conversations stretch for hours without anyone reaching for a phone.
Where you look someone in the eye and ask, “How are you, really?”—and wait to hear the answer.
This is an invitation to return:
🌿 To the ranch.
🌅 To sunsets that stop you in your tracks.
🐂 To the sacred bond between animals, soil, and people.
🤝 To community, faith, and what it means to be fully human.
Welcome to the land of connection.
Welcome back to the ranch, Connected Cowgirl or Cowboy.
Inside this book, you’ll uncover lies you may have believed…
Lie: “There is No Human-Animal Connection” We were designed to live alongside animals—caring for them, learning from them, and being nourished by them. Their presence grounds us. Their meat sustains us. To deny that bond is to sever something ancient, sacred, and essential to our health—body and soul.
Lie: "But I'm Connected on My Phone" They sold us a story: that the device in our pocket could connect us to the world. And in some ways, it can. But no screen will ever replace a shared meal, eye contact, a deep conversation, or the feeling of being truly seen.
Lie: “Being a Vegetarian is Healthy for the Planet” Even as a rancher, I believed this once. I thought cows were bad for the environment—and I wrestled with the ethics of taking an animal’s life. But then I looked closer. In this chapter, I share what really happens on a ranch: how animals are part of a regenerative cycle that heals the land, builds soil, and feeds us in the most honest way possible. Life isn’t industrial—it’s sacred.
Lie: “Soil Health Got Nothing to Do With It” But underneath our feet is the foundation of every bite we eat, every nutrient in our food, and every cell in our body. Soil isn’t just dirt—it’s life. If we want health, we have to start at the root. And that means getting our hands back in the ground.
Lie: "Our Food System" Behind the curtain, it’s broken—manipulated by profit, controlled by a few, and blind to the cost paid by people, animals, and the land. In this chapter, I reveal some of the darkest truths I’ve discovered. Not to scare you—but to wake you up.
...And Step into Truth
Truth: “Nutrient-dense Beef” In this chapter, I break it all down—how cattle transform grass into life-giving fuel for your body, how real beef—raised on open pasture, eating nothing but grass—isn’t just food. It’s medicine. Packed with trace minerals, vital nutrients, and healthy fats, it’s one of the most powerful, nourishing foods on the planet.
Truth: "Connection" This is your invitation to live truly connected—not through the lens of a screen, but through the lens of your own eyes. To feel the wind, touch the soil, look someone in the eye, and remember what it means to be here. In this chapter, we return to what is real… and what always has been.
