Built by Texans,
for the people who feed us.
Rancher Navy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting farmers, ranchers, and agricultural communities during and after natural disasters.
Born from a Texas wildfire.
Built to outlast it.
Rancher Navy was founded on March 18, 2022, in response to devastating wildfires that swept across Central Texas — and the agricultural communities left to recover with too few hands.
In the years since, we've grown into a vital force in Texas disaster relief, mobilizing for wildfires, tornadoes, and severe weather events across the state, including the historic Smokehouse Creek Fire — the largest wildfire in Texas history.
Efficient operations are the backbone of what we do. We streamline logistics, communication, and resource management so help arrives quickly and goes exactly where it's needed: rebuilding fences, recovering livestock, clearing debris, and standing alongside families as they put their lives back together.
Three things shape every deployment.
Resilient agricultural communities
A Texas — and beyond — where ranchers, farmers, and agricultural communities are never left to face disaster alone.
Critical disaster relief, delivered fast
Mobilizing volunteers, equipment, and logistics to support farmers, ranchers, and ag communities during and after natural disasters.
Community, resilience, stewardship
Show up early. Work alongside, not above. Treat livestock, land, and people with the respect they deserve.
A small team. A long reach.
Founders, coordinators, and field leaders — every one of them a working volunteer who shows up before, during, and after the storm.

From the families we serve.
“When the wildfire hit, we were overwhelmed, and our land was devastated. Rancher Navy showed up with equipment and volunteers who knew exactly what to do. They helped save our livestock and worked side by side with us to rebuild. We couldn't have made it through without them.”
“After the tornado tore through Valley View, Rancher Navy was there within hours. They helped clear debris, repair our fences, and provided the support we needed to get back on our feet. Their team understood what it takes to run a farm, and that made all the difference.”
