This week on WKRP Montrose, Rob and Dennis sit down with Gary Peebles, one of the driving forces behind Homestead Meats. Gary offers a straightforward, insightful look into Western Colorado’s local meat industry—what it takes to raise animals responsibly, process meat with integrity, and keep food production rooted in the community.
He shares how Homestead works closely with local ranchers, why small-scale processing matters, and how transparency and trust shape the way they serve families across the Western Slope. Gary also talks about the challenges facing local producers today and the importance of supporting businesses that keep our regional food system strong.
If you’ve ever wondered where your meat comes from—or why choosing local makes such a difference—this episode sheds light on the people, practices, and passion behind food raised right here at home.
