THE OWNERS

IN THE SPRING OF 1998 MY COUSIN BROUGHT ME A BIG DARK GREEN EGG AND SAID, "HATCH IT." I SAID WHAT THE "H" IS IT? HE SAID, "AN EMU EGG."

I HAD MY DAUGHTER GET ON THE INTERNET AND LOOK UP INFORMATION SO I COULD SEE WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

SHE WOULD PRINT OFF 8 TO 15 PAGES EVERYDAY AND PUT THEM IN MY LUNCH BOX SO I COULD READ THEM AT WORK. AFTER A NOTEBOOK ABOUT 1-1/2 INCHES THICK I DECIDED TO GET INTO THE INDUSTRY.

IN JULY OF 1998, I BOUGHT 6 PAIRS AND 100 CHICKS TO RAISE AND PRODUCE FOR A COMPANY. I WANTED TO PRODUCE ONLY. IT DID NOT HAPPEN THAT WAY.

I HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE BIRDS. I HAD THE 100 BIRDS PROCESSED.

DURING THIS TIME OF RAISING THEM, I GOT WITH OTHERS RANCHERS. I PICKED OUT THE BEST COMPANY THAT I HAD HEARD OF. THEY HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 10 YEARS AT THAT TIME, I CHOSE THAT COMPANY.

I HAVE OIL, MEAT, LEATHER AND DOG FOOD IN MY BANK ACCOUNT THERE. (ALWAYS FRESH.) OVER 100 DIFFERENT ITEMS TO SELL. THEY ARE A LEADER IN THE

INDUSTRY.

I GOT 8 YEARS OF RAISING, SELLING AND RESEARCH OF THE EMU. ( I WILL NEVER KNOW IT ALL )

I WORK FULL TIME, RAISING THE BIRDS AND TRYING TO GET A GREAT BUSINESS OFF THE GROUND. KEEPING UP WITH ALL THE FACTS AND RESEARCH IS ALSO A FULL TIME JOB.

SOME PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO PICK UP PRODUCTS, AT THE RANCH. BUT THIS WAY, I CAN HAVE SOME ONE HERE TO GREET YOU. IF YOU CALL AND NOBODY ANSWERS, LEAVE A MESSAGE, AND WE WILL GET BACK WITH YOU .

THIS IS A NEW AND

GROWING INDUSTRY

LET PARADISE RANCH

SERVE YOU
