October: Women of the West | Tracy Nicholson
October 15, 2026
Join us as we celebrate Tracy Nicholson, who has spent the last forty-seven years building a life and a legacy alongside her husband, Bill — a fifth-generation rancher. Together they raise Nicholson Ranches, a grass-fed Certified Red Angus beef operation rooted in Morro Bay and Cayucos. The beef is featured seasonally at Spencer's Market in Morro Bay and Santa Maria, and supplied directly to private customers who return year after year.
Tracy's family — three children, two daughters-in-law, a son-in-law, and four grandchildren — is dedicated to carrying forward the ranching way of life that generations of Nicholsons have stewarded before them. You'll find Tracy gathering cattle on horseback most days, doing the work she loves on the land she loves. For the month, Tracy has partnered with our team on a featured dish and drink pairing, with 10% of all sales donated to the San Luis Obispo County CattleWomen Scholarship Fund — a cause close to her heart.
