What is the story behind NET ZERO RANCH?

ABOUT NET ZERO RANCH

Net Zero Ranch is a Northern New Mexico catering company for weddings and celebrations that want food people talk about for years. We cook two ways: live over a wood fire, and slow-smoked for 18 hours with our local smokehouse partner. Our menus draw on the asado traditions of Argentina and Uruguay, the moles and salsas of Oaxaca and Jalisco, and the chiles of New Mexico.

Our food starts close to home, from New Mexico ranch partners, local farms and our own ranch, where we grow flowers and herbs for our events. We call it soil to soil: what we don't serve goes back into the ground.

Every event comes with a set menu built by our chefs, a full crew, and setup and breakdown. Clear pricing, no hidden fees.

Amazing Chef!

We hired Chef Kualani for a private birthday dinner for my mother. Her passion for food came through in the very first email. She is amazing! You can tell that she loves the whole process of procuring, preparing, cooking and serving. We gathered from all over the world and this was the best meal we have had, possibly ever. She tends to use local and fresh ingredients which made all of the dishes stand out. Chef K is very talented.

Delicious menu and very easy to work with!

Kualani and her team blew away myself and our guests with her delicious food. Kualani was open to collaboratively creating the menu items together and delivered on what was requested: traditional New Mexican food that was warming for our Fall wedding. We received tons of complements from our guests on how great the food was.

Not only was Kualani easy to communicate and plan the menu with, she was always responsive to our questions and remained flexible and accommodating when special dietary restrictions were needed.

Additionally, Kualani was very prepared; she and her team set everything up the day before to make the wedding day seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend Kualani and her team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
