Silver Key Ranch is a veteran owned family farm in Catlett, Virginia, established in 2019 by Dave Lauer.
Across 17 acres it keeps Hereford and Black Angus cattle, Boer and Nigerian Dwarf goats, free range chickens and a Great Pyrenees guardian named Tess. Spring and summer bring new calves and baby goats, garden vegetables, and seasonal fruits and berries, mulberries being the farmer's favourite.
The farm store sells farm fresh eggs from pasture chickens, freezer beef by the cut, quarter, half or whole, goat products, microgreens and garden vegetables, with pork and chicken on the menu too. Orders are arranged by text or call, with delivery within 30 miles or pick up at the ranch. Ninety minute farm experience tours run through Eventbrite, with egg collecting, chicken holding and bottle feeding baby goats along the way.

Silver Key Ranch is a fantastic, veteran owned farm that offers so much for our family. Farmer Dave is just a great human being and you can tell how much he loves and cares for his animals. Our favorite things about Silver Ranch are the barn cat Midnight who will come and greet you at your car when you arrive and feeding leaves to the goats - they love them just as much as humans love potato chips!
