extraordinary product, and I could not recommend it more.”

The story of Rugby Scott begins in 1884, on a rugged homestead in North Dakota where the Tuchscherer family put down roots. This 160-acre piece of land laid the foundation for five generations of cattle ranch­ers. And this burgeoning, not-yet-settled community will become Rugby, North Dakota.


For over a century — in a tradition that continues today — the Tuchscherers raise live­stock and sow crops to feed the family. They slowly expand their ranchland, parcel by parcel and callus by callus. They never waver from their great-great-grandfather’s legacy: to respect the land, leaving nature’s wide-open spaces better than before they worked them; raising animals naturally and humanely; and bringing real, nourishing food to the table.
