As Featured in Modern Cowboy Magazine
In the Fall 2025 issue of Modern Cowboy Magazine, ND Ranch Wife founder JoAnna Hartsoch shares the powerful true story of how she and her husband built Hartsoch Ranch from scratch.

Through wild storms, financial hurdles, and heartbreaking loss, JoAnna opens up about the highs and lows of ranch life, the lessons learned, and what it really means to build an American dream from the ground up.

Still Building… One Calf, One Cup, One Dream at a Time
From our ranch in the North Dakota prairie, we’re doing more than raising cattle or selling coffee—we’re building a legacy of purpose, faith, and grit. Whether it's selling beef bundles to families, packaging coffee for gift boxes, or pouring love into our freezer meal plans, everything we do is about connection. We’re not just preserving a way of life—we’re showing the next generation that with perseverance and grace, you can build something meaningful from the ground up. Our children, Makoti and Waylon, work beside us, learning what it means to weather storms, give generously, and grow something that lasts. Because this story isn’t just about us—it’s about everyone who dreams of starting with nothing and building a life with intention, one step at a time.

🎃 Limited Edition Coffee Blend -> Headless Horseman
Welcome to ND Ranch Wife!
Hi, I’m JoAnna, a North Dakota Ranch Wife, and I’m excited to welcome you to our ranch! Here on the Hartsoch Ranch in Northwestern North Dakota, my family and I are building a life rooted in the land, raising kids and cattle, and sharing the best of ranch living.
Did you know ranching developed in western Dakota where the rough terrain and limited rainfall made farming challenging? Early ranchers could only get started around 1880, when the Northern Pacific Railroad reached this area. My family has deep roots here, stretching back to my great-great-great-grandfather, Stephen William Brown, who settled in south-central North Dakota and built a stone farmhouse that still stands on the highest hill. It’s where I grew up, learning the art of ranching and cultivating a love for this land.
Today, alongside raising high-quality Angus beef cattle, I’m thrilled to share our ND Ranch Wife Coffee and everything else we have to offer.
Whether you’re here to discover our beef or savor our coffee blends, I’m grateful you’ve joined us. Follow us on YouTube to see more of ranch life, and be sure to check out our “About Us” page for the full story behind Hartsoch Ranch. Welcome to our family, and enjoy your stay!
