We met a horse (now named Chief) as he was about to be sold off to a slaughter truck and we bought him from them. We’d stumbled into a race horse breeding barn and our hearts just broke. I’d grown up with horses and have a deep love and connection to them. On our way, we drove past a horse barn and stopped in. The weekend we moved to Joshua Tree my husband and i went to look for a truck. It’s a lot of juggle, but we wouldn’t change it! I think our biggest adjustment has been finding a way to do everything with no help and being full-time parents and business owners. We chose to come home after a year and focus on building out our dream project! We moved from LA to the desert in 2018 and Holistic Ranch took form. When we got pregnant with our son we had an amazing opportunity in London and decided to let life take us on that adventure. Yes! We have taken a few adventures in the last years. Previously you were here in LA, then London – what’s been the biggest adjustment? Yucca in 3 words: Historic, iconic, exciting.
To be honest, we didn’t really know what we were going to do on the land, but we knew it would be something! We signed the lease and had six months to figure it out. We had been looking for something for about two years and never found anything that just felt right. We found this amazing space we fell in love with on Craigslist one day. The Holistic Ranch is the name of both the horse ranch and the well-curated store and we asked Nicole to bring us up to speed on all of it…īusiness: Holistic Ranch Natural Grocer and General Store They also just opened a new general store for their community that has our name written all over it (figuratively speaking). In a ‘second life’ sort of twist, we recently reconnected with Nicole and her young family when they moved back to California, where they were giving a sweet herd of horses their second life nestled out in the Yucca desert.
We lost touch when Nicole got married, pregnant with her first child (a testament to her wellness efforts!) and moved to London. Nicole had taken a natural approach to healing her own PCOS and went on to champion natural options for treating the condition for women everywhere.

“The lifesaving work we do at Barn Sanctuary will undoubtedly capture the hearts of millions, and we’re grateful to Animal Planet for the opportunity.A few years ago, we ran a series of features on women’s health with wellness contributor, Nicole Granato. “There is an enormous and rare opportunity to show the world who these incredible animals are, and we’re touched by the outpouring of excitement for this show,” stated Kelly Holt, Executive Director of Barn Sanctuary. Viewers can also expect to learn about unique medical cases and encounter a variety of charismatic human and animal characters. “Barn Sanctuary” will feature uplifting and entertaining animal rescue stories as it takes viewers on a journey of day-to-day life at the rescue.
