Rough And Ready

Rough and Ready is a community in Nevada County, California, a small historic foothill community west of Grass Valley known for its Gold Rush heritage and its colorful history of briefly seceding from the Union, now a rural-residential community of ranches, homesteads, and small businesses, where wildfire resilience and reliable connectivity matter. Its business base runs on ranching and small agriculture, trades and home services, heritage and small tourism, professional and home-based services, real estate, and the small businesses serving a rural foothill community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the businesses of Rough and Ready and Nevada County, built to keep working when the network doesn't, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
