Welcome to Von Holten Ranch!
Home of the Country Tough Homesteading Expo and voted Missouri's Best Ranch. We are a fourth generation working ranch started in 1906.
We are located just outside of Sedalia, Missouri. We are considered the gateway to the Ozarks and conveniently located in the same county as the Missouri State Fair.
