About The Imus Ranch:

Imus Ranch is an authentic working cattle ranch nestled beneath a majestic mesa in the rolling hills nearRibera, New Mexico, fifty miles northeast of Santa Fe. The ranch was conceived and designed with the sole purpose of providing the experience of the great American cowboy to children suffering from cancer or serious blood disorders, and children who've lost brothers and sisters to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The objective is to encourage in them a sense of achievement, responsibility and self-esteem and to instill pride and restore their dignity as they become aware of just how much they are able to accomplish. The Imus Ranch is totally and completely organic, serving a strict vegan diet and using cleaning agents that are non-toxic, biodegradable, naturally derived materials. They use no pesticides of synthetic chemicals of any kind in their gardening, farming, or infrastructure and plant maintances.
