About Us
The El Rancho Gift shop has been in the family for the past 22 years (since 1986). Cam developed and built the business with the help of her daughter Ché Rippinger for the first 12 years. Then Cam and Ché owned Nature's Garden Health Food Store in nearby Bergen Park. Now the mother and daughter team of Cam and Ché have returned to the helm of the El Rancho Trading Post. And it's better than ever!
