Back at the Ranch was established in 2007. Our starting capital for the store was obtained from the sale of a tractor. Country, I know!! We wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm Katie Hoffman, and I was born and raised in Ft. Worth, Texas. After graduating high school I moved to Stephenville, Texas to attend Tarleton State University. I graduated from Tarleton with a BS in Animal Science and a MS in Agriculture Education. I'm sure by this point you are scratching your head and wondering how a Animal Science major is now in the fashion industry. Well, coming from a long line of entrapanuers, I decided really quick that my free spirited self was not going to be able to work for "the man". I had to work for myself. I wanted a family and wanted time to spend with that family. We raised cattle growing up, so I was used to being able to leave for a weekend and go to shows because my parents were self-elpoyed.
My love for fashion actually started around the time we started showing. I was interested in showing, but I was much more interested in the booths that were there and also what everyone was wearing.
That's my story in a nutshell! Peace, love, and sparkels!
