Cold Water Ranch Ltd.

Cold Water Ranch is a 800-acre organic ranch in the Merritt area which is currently owned and operated by the Glazema Family Trust. The  beef cattle farm also takes in retired racehorses for the New Stride Foundation.

Cold Water Ranch Ltd. has generously donated a section of ranch land to the Abilitas Foundation, a charitable organization supporting children and adults with disabilities. The Foundation will use the land to construct a fully accessible respite lodge: the Cold Water Ranch Lodge. The Lodge will be part of the broader community of the Cold Water Ranch Estates subdivision and will offer barrier-free respite & access to ranch and outdoor experiences for free.

Cold Water Ranch is also home to Cold Water Vineyards, a small scale vineyard that will be producing organic ice wines in collaboration with Lotus Land Vineyards. The company is committed to contributing part of its proceeds to the Abilitas Foundation.
