A place to grow.
A story still being written.
The place, the people, and the reasons behind what we are building.
The ranch is the foundation.
Cattle, pastures, and caring for the land belong in the Cross SL story alongside the nursery and garden. We're building on that ranching connection as the operation develops.
This is an introduction to the place and its direction, not an announcement of cattle or beef for sale.
Taking care of what we’ve been given.
The ranch is the main story: the plants taking root, the projects taking shape, and the lessons along the way. Scott and Laurie are building, growing, and learning here, sharing the work as it happens.
We’re developing gardens, growing plants, and improving the property. Some of what we’re doing comes from experience. Some comes from asking questions, trying something new, and seeing what happens.
We believe there’s value in doing the work, learning as we go, and sharing the process with people who enjoy the same things. We want visiting this site to feel like looking around the ranch: something interesting around the next corner and a reason to come back.
A living connection with the Biblical lands.
The Biblical Lands Collection is a long-term vision for a park-like place in Texas where people who may never travel to Israel can encounter living plants connected with the lands of the Bible.
