Ladd and I have been working on a little something! We are launching (yeehaw!) the official Drummond Ranch channel on YouTube and we have been so excited to share this sneak peek trailer with you. We have always wanted to show more ranching and agricultural moments in my cooking show, but because it’s a cooking show (obviously!), we were always limited in the amount of time we could spend on the non-food component. And in recent years, the changing television landscape meant less and less ranch footage. So early last year, Ladd and I decided to jump in and tackle it ourselves!
We found a local (to Oklahoma) camera crew, and they came to the ranch over a period of weeks to film the various goings-on. They covered so many different things, and we hope this series shows the hard work and business side of cattle ranching. Anyone who watched the kids grow up on my cooking show will see that they're officially all grown up and starting to come back and work more and more.
Paige plays a prominent role, as she was just moving home to work on the ranch---the first sibling to do so, which made for an interesting dynamic. Bryce was home from college and football for the summer, as was Todd. Again: A lot of things were captured!
Things have changed over the past year and we also filmed Paige's wedding in May, which will be covered later in the Drummond Ranch series. We are picking up filming again in a couple of weeks, now that Bryce is home full time on the ranch. You'll see cowboys, weather, the dynamic between Ladd and his brother Tim, and you'll hear about the different kinds of cattle operations, markets, and what it's like in a family where all the kids are growing up and trying to figure out what role they will play in the ranch's future.
I play only a supporting role in this series! Hope you enjoy the trailer (it shows just a small glimpse of what's to come); you can subscribe to the Drummond Ranch channel on YouTube to see new episodes, which will start posting soon.
Thank you all for being here through all the ages and stages! We appreciate you so very much.
Love, Ree and Ladd

Together with her husband Ladd, Ree has opened several bustling businesses in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, including The Pioneer Woman Mercantile—a bakery, restaurant, and general store that draws visitors from across the country (many come for the biscuits alone!), P-Town Pizza, Charlie’s Ice Cream Shop, and The Boarding House, a charming hotel with eight different rooms decorated by Ree and Ladd.

Ree appears regularly on national TV shows like Today, Good Morning America and more—all while managing to keep flour off her shirt.
Wife, Mom and…Grandma!
Ree’s kids (daughters Alex and Paige and sons Bryce and Todd) are all grown up, and as of December 2024, Ree is the proud grandma of the cutest baby ever, Sofia Scott, born to Alex and her husband Mauricio. Ree still cooks for Ladd (and the kids when they’re home), and she also looks after a few mischievous ranch dogs.
