Your Hosts - Mike and Sally Gale

Mike and Sally Gale do not come to ranching naturally, although you could say that ranching is in Sally's blood, as her family has been ranching in Marin County for five generations. It was through Sally's family that your hosts came to own the ranch in the later part of the 1980s. Prior to that, they lived in Hawaii, where they raised their three children, were heavily involved in Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling. Neither of their jobs prepared them for ranching; Mike was the administrator of a federal agency and Sally was a pediatric social worker.

At present, Mikespends his time caring for his natural beef herd and growing 10 varieties of newly developed organic apples, such as Molly's Delicious and Jonathan's pride.
