Montana Ranch Meets Wild Alaska: The Ultimate Seafood Boil

When two small Montana businesses with a passion for quality come together, the result isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Stick Leg Ranch in Conrad, Montana, and Peeler’s Wild Alaska Seafood have teamed up to create a seafood boil that combines the finest pastured pork with wild-caught seafood, supporting small businesses that share a commitment to sustainable, premium ingredients. Unlike typical seafood boil kits that often skimp on quality, every ingredient here—from crab and scallops to corn, potatoes, and andouille sausage—comes from a small business doing it right. Only 200 kits were made for this initial release—grab yours before they’re gone! This limited-time collaboration won’t last long.

From Montana Pastures to Andouille Sausage

At Stick Leg Ranch, pork is raised differently. Pastured pigs roam open Montana fields, allowed to root, graze, and grow naturally for up to three years. This approach results in rich flavor, firm texture, and sausages crafted with intention. Their andouille sausages, made from this premium pork, add smoky depth and bold character to any boil.

Jennie and Seth at Stick Leg Ranch have spent over a decade building relationships with local farmers and investing in quality—even during tough years. Their entire family focus on animal welfare, protein quality, and flavor is evident in every bite, standing far apart from what you’ll find in commercial graze lots.

From Alaska’s Waters Straight to Your Plate

Peeler’s Wild Alaska Seafood has been delivering fresh, wild-caught seafood from Alaska’s rugged coast to Montana for years. Max took over his father’s business with a clear mission: support the fishermen who harvest the seafood and sell it directly, bypassing large corporations that dominate pricing, distribution and quality standards.

This small business model allows for flexibility and quality. Running low on halibut? Max can call a trusted fisherman friend to secure top-quality seafood, paying fair compensation for their work. Whether it’s -30 in Havre or a sunny day in Bozeman, Peeler’s distribution network is built on trust, relationships, and a commitment to bringing the best seafood to customers. Like Stick Leg Ranch, Peeler’s values family, integrity, and long-term sustainability and this seafood boil kit a culmination of the best of our combined families.

Why This Boil Works

Imagine thick slices of Stick Leg Ranch andouille sausage sizzling in a pot alongside sidestripe shrimp, scallops, Dungeness crab, potatoes, and corn. Add a spice blend balancing smoky, briny, and spicy notes, and you have a feast where Montana ranch meets Alaska’s ocean.

Key Highlights:

• High-quality pork from Stick Leg Ranch, raised with freedom, sunlight, and care.
• Premium seafood from Peeler’s, wild, traceable, and delivered fresh.
• Shared values: Ranchers and fishermen both work long seasons, face unpredictable conditions, and deliver real protein to real people—connecting land and sea in every bite.
• Guarantee: You won’t find a more handcrafted, locally sourced, premium seafood boil anywhere.

Making Seafood Simple: How to Build Your Own Montana-Alaska Boil

1. • Start with a 8-10 gallon pot, and bring about 5 gallons to a raging boil.
   • Keep the seafood in boil bags and add them to the boiling water with the spice kit.
   • Boil for 9-12 minutes.
   • Feel free to add your own adjustments.
   • Simmer until seafood is just cooked and flavors meld.
   • Serve on butcher-paper-covered picnic tables, Montana-style, with butter or lemon wedges.

Why This Collaboration Matters

This seafood boil isn’t just a meal—it’s a story of craftsmanship, care, and community. It brings together Montana pastured pork and Alaskan wild seafood in one meaningful dish, celebrating the shared dedication of ranchers and fishermen to quality, sustainability, and honest work.

We first met Seth about five years ago he visited one of our carts back when we started selling in Conrad, Montana. A few years later, mutual friends reconnected us, and we finally had the chance to visit their ranch. They welcomed us with incredible hospitality—stories of grizzlies wandering down from Glacier onto the same property where they raise their pigs and cattle, plates piled high with their own bacon, burgers, brats, and steak, and the kind of grounded, intentional living that’s rare to find.

Few families—let alone businesses—live with as much purpose as Seth and Jennie. Their ethos mirrors ours: working hard, staying true to your values, and creating food that reflects care for both people and place.

If you could’ve sat at our breakfast table together that morning, you’d understand that opportunities like this don’t come around often. Two small businesses, driven by integrity, teaming up to make food the way it should be—for everyone.
