Our Story

Family pic 4.jpg

Welcome to JulBud Ranch!

​

We’re Craig and Angela Powell, the owners and operators of JulBud Ranch. Although we both grew up in suburban neighborhoods, we were lucky enough to experience—and fall in love with—country life from an early age.

​

Craig spent his youth working for a horse veterinarian and participating in historical war reenactments in Illinois. Angela volunteered at Eagle Ranch Ministries in South Jordan, Utah, where she helped care for horses, cows, and pigs.

​

After getting married in 2013, we knew we wanted to eventually put down roots in the country. During one of our scenic drives exploring the state, we discovered the beauty of Huntsville—and we knew we’d found our forever home. When the time finally came to make the move, there was no doubt: it had to be Ogden Valley.

​

Our ranch name, JulBud (pronounced Jewel Bud), honors two people who deeply inspired us. “Jul” is for Julian, Craig’s grandfather, and “Bud” is for Buddy, Angela’s father.

​

At JulBud Ranch, we grow our food without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and all of our products are made with 100% natural ingredients. We’re committed to keeping things clean, simple, and true to nature.

​

We work together to maintain the ranch—Angela manages most of the business side, while Craig works full-time off the ranch and maintains our equipment and builds whatever we need built. In our downtime, you’ll find us kayaking or paddleboarding at the nearby reservoirs; hiking; relaxing on the back porch watching deer and wild turkeys; or enjoying games, movies, and each other's company.
