Meet the varian family
For over 60 years, our family has lived and worked on the V6 Ranch. Since 1961, we’ve been raising cattle, hosting guests, and sharing the cowboy way of life and since 1989 we have owned and operated the Parkfield Cafe & Lodge.
Today, three generations, with a fourth growing up fast, work side by side to welcome guests to Parkfield. When you ride on the V6 Ranch, you’re not just joining a tour, you’re riding with our family. When you eat at the Parkfield Cafe, you’re enjoying our family recipes. And when you stay at the Parkfield Lodge, you’re being welcomed into the town we love and call home.
This isn’t just our business, it’s our life. And we’re proud to share it with you.
