Welcome To Date Creek Ranch
Date Creek Ranch is a working cattle ranch, over 120 years old, currently owned and run by the Knight family. Located twenty-two miles northwest of Wickenburg, off Highway US 93, on picturesque Date Creek, the ranch headquarters, first built in 1883, enjoys a riparian setting of cottonwoods and willow and home to a wide variety of wildlife. Prehistoric man once lived here, but little evidence is left of that occupation. The remains of Camp Date Creek, a territorial military outpost, are a few miles away. more...
We sell our natural grass-fed beef directly to our customers by the quarter. Our beef is free of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides and steroids and is more healthy for many reasons. Our cattle are happy because they are born and raised here on our beautiful desert ranch. Animals grazing native grasses are healthier and enjoy a better quality of life that is immeasurably better than those animals raised in confinement. more...
