Elizabeth Poett was raised on Rancho San Julian, a 14,000-acre ranch on Santa Barbara's Central Coast. The San Julian is one of the oldest cattle ranches in California, and Elizabeth's family has owned and worked this land since 1837. As a 7th generation cattle rancher, Elizabeth is passionate about preserving the land, growing healthy, humanely-raised foods, and bringing friends and family together for joyful celebrations.

After school, Elizabeth moved back to the ranch and began working full time. In 2018, Elizabeth launched The Ranch Table, where she hosts cooking classes, special meals, and private events at Rancho San Julian's historic adobe. The Ranch Table offers a way for visitors to learn about the foods they eat and each event ends with a beautiful, seasonal meal. In 2021, Elizabeth began hosting a cooking show called Ranch To Table on the Magnolia Network. Here she shares what ranch life is all about, as well as flavorful recipes that are easy to make at home.

While working at a family branding, she met local rancher Austin Campbell. They connected immediately and a few years later married in a celebration that brought their two large extended families together. Soon after their wedding, they moved into a house that Elizabeth's great-grandmother moved from Santa Barbara in 1918 during the Spanish Flu to raise her children. This is now where Elizabeth and Austin raise their two young sons as well as sheep, chickens, seasonal turkeys, horses, dogs, and cats.
