Rutter’s Ranch is a Veteran owned and operated farm dedicated to providing quality, wholesome food to our community. Matt and Kara Rutter served a cumulative 45 years in the U.S. Army, culminating at Command Sergeant Major and Sergeant Major, respectively. Upon retiring, they spent their time developing a farm filled with happy animals and amazing gardens!
They have chickens, turkeys, ducks, goats, pigs, and alpacas. Whether you want to buy a dozen eggs, a loaf of fresh baked bread, or a breeding pig, Rutter’s Ranch is the place for you!
The Rutters are active members of the military and veteran community, as well as the Upstate community. They established Project Victory Gardens to provide agritherapy, animal therapy, and Farm to Table Education for military, veterans, and their communities. Matt is the Founding President and Kara is the Communications Director of the Farmer Veteran Coalition of South Carolina. In their spare time they are both pursuing PhDs at Clemson University focused on veterans in agriculture. After a combined 20 moves and decades spent overseas and in combat zones, they never take for granted a morning when they wake up on their farm.
