Jose Flores
Ranch Manager
Jose is one of those amazing people who has known what he wanted to do his entire life. He was born in Corralejo de Hidalgo, Penjamo Guanajuato, Mexico where generations of his family farmed, raised livestock, and provided for the community. His first solo horseback ride was at 2 years old, and by the age of 5 he was out on the range tending the cattle and livestock daily. Ranching runs deep in his blood, and when he moved to the Rogue Valley at the age of 17 his talents, expertise, and tireless work ethic were immediately noticed by the Southern Oregon community.
Jose was already working at Arrowhead Ranch when Chiron took over the lease in 2017, and it was immediately clear that he was far more than a simple ranch hand. More specifically, Jose is THE essential person regarding the success of all ranch operations – land, animals, equipment, irrigation, fencing – everything. He has introduced and manages a solid support team of ranch hands who make sure all 520 acres and every inhabitant is safe, tended to, and running smoothly.
In 2020 Jose and his family lost everything in the Almeda Fire. In a bittersweet twist of fate the tragedy of the fire brought Jose and his family even closer to Chiron when he and his wife decided to move on site to the ranch with their four children. It has been such a wonderful addition for all, and now we get to see the potential next generation of Flores ranchers helping their dad Jose every day!
