Regenerative sourcing, live wood fire, compostable service — chef-driven wedding catering for the high mountain valleys of Taos County.
Searching for the best caterers in Taos? Net Zero Ranch is a wood-fired wedding catering company rooted in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Our chefs cook throughout Taos County — the Pueblo, Arroyo Seco, Angel Fire, and the high meadows above town.
Taos weddings run smaller, closer to the land, and quieter than most. The menus are built for exactly that: open flame, wood smoke, chef-driven detail.
Cooking at altitude is the everyday here — the fire, the food, and the timing are all calibrated for seven thousand feet.
A clear base price covers the food our chefs make, their labor, and setup and breakdown. Composting is available on any event.
Built for the open-air, ranch-style venues Taos is made of — open meadows, gorge light, high country.
Our meats are wood-smoked by our smokehouse partner and sourced field-to-fire from regenerative ranches across the region.
Every plate finds its way back to the ground. No trace left behind — the full circle, closed in Taos County.
Your tabletop is your choice — Compostable or Rental china.
Three set menus, each with a base price you build on — sized to your guest count and shaped by the season.
A fully hosted ranch buffet drawn from the horseback Charro of Jalisco. Our partner smokes the centerpiece over wood for eighteen hours off site and delivers it hot; a captain and attendants set the table, tend the line, and keep every dish full. Floor servers accompany the tabletop you choose.
The open-fire Asado of Argentina and Uruguay, cooked live over wood on your grounds at seven thousand feet. Three chefs work the evening, one of them at the coals, and dinner comes family-style, passed down the table.
Bring a chef to your rental or mountain retreat — dinners, a long weekend, or a full week of cooking built around your group, all seasonal and pulled from the local markets. The Vacation Chef suits a house stay; the Retreat Chef, a longer gathering; both are quoted after a short consultation.
