Kat Massey

Founder

Kat Massey, was the youngest female member to become a floor trader in the history of the Chicago Board of Trade. Working for almost a decade as an independent commodities broker, she learned the economics of commercial farming production. After transitioning to investing in real estate and flipping houses, health concerns lead her to seek a more sustainable and fulfilling life. She brought her children and her expertise to Arizona where she sought out an opportunity to create something amazing as a legacy for her children – something in alignment with her visions of creating a holistic, ecological, and ethical approach to business. When she first stepped on the property that would become Rancho Almasomos, she felt like the land had been waiting for her.

“When I first saw this property with this beautiful spring fed creek running through the middle of it, and felt into all the life it has supported it was overwhelming… to think about how many plants, animals and humans this little creek has supported in its existence and how those beings lived harmoniously together – this became one of the inspirations that contributed to our name.” (Alma meaning “souls” and somos meaning “we are.” )

When she was introduced to the Biodynamic farming process, her vision for Rancho Almasomos suddenly sprouted and began to grow. Now with the help of her dedicated team of trailblazers and experts in the field of Biodynamics and holistic sustainable practices, she’s created a premier agritourism destination connecting visitors to their food and the land from which it came.
