DARBY, Mont., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Prominently featured in The Inner Circle, Dillon James Kouf is acknowledged as a Pinnacle Professional Member Inner Circle of Excellence for his contributions to Elevating Sustainable Meat Production at Montana's Double K Ranch.

Dillon James Kouf, co-owner of Double K Ranch, is advancing the family tradition of producing ethically and sustainably raised meats while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Since stepping into his leadership role in 2019, Mr. Kouf has overseen operations at the sprawling Montana property, further expanding its success and reputation as a leader in sustainable food services. Starting small with salami production at the ranch, creating the first traditionally made salamis in the state of Montana based on French, Italian, and Spanish recipes and traditions. And slowly increasing the production to offer a large variety of meats all raised, and processed right on the family ranch.

Double K Ranch, founded in 1985 by Jim and Lynn Kouf, is rooted in respect for the land and a passion for high-quality meats. Following in his parents' footsteps, Dillon Kouf has taken the family business to new heights. The ranch raises all-natural, grass fed, Red and Black Angus Beef, along with heritage breed Berkshire Hogs. The animals are always outdoors and never confined to tight indoor spaces or given any added hormones or antibiotics. Under his leadership, the ranch has expanded its offerings to include a new meat shop on the ranch property, and a restaurant and deli location in the nearby town of Missoula, Montana. The animals are raised and processed on the property from start to finish, and never have to leave the ranch's care. The Double K Ranch produces premium cuts of meat, from steaks and chops, burgers and sausages, Jerky and Salami, and everything in between, all processed in the ranch's meat shop with a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.

Mr. Kouf supervises all operations and managers at Double K Ranch, Meat Shop, and Deli, ensuring that every aspect of each business—from raising the animals, processing the meats, and cooking burgers, meets the highest industry and personal standards. His efforts have been recognized through prestigious awards, including the Montana Processors Association Award for Double K Ranch's Selway Salami in 2022, as well as national recognition from the American Association of Meat Processors award for their Coppa in 2023. As a member of the American Association of Meat Processors, Mr. Kouf is dedicated to using the best practices in the industry. He is also focused on helping promote sustainable, value-driven methods in the local community while preparing Double K Ranch for future growth—all while maintaining the small, local feel that has defined the business since its founding.

"Looking to the future, Mr. Kouf envisions expanding the Double K Ranch brand within the Bitterroot Valley and Missoula Montana, while preserving its strong community ties and unwavering dedication to ethical food production."
