Saint Johns sits high and open on the Little Colorado, where grass country runs out to the horizon and a June evening cools the minute the sun drops behind the mesa. American Arrow Beef Company works that short, generous growing season: mowing through the warm months, edging along walks and gravel drives, trimming around fence posts and cottonwood trunks. Storms come up over the rim in July and knock branches loose; the cleanup follows right behind them. In fall the leaves let go all at once and get raked and hauled before the first hard freeze. High-country yards only get so many green weeks — the craft is making every one of them look it.
