Desired Locations
Bison hoof-to-tail value added products. Current CSU student and 2026 Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Fellow.
Goals, Values, Vision
I run Ancestral Range, a bison tallow-based skincare line, currently sold online, and need a physical presence somewhat near the Denver market to grow it. My immediate goal is a small-scale, pasture-raised rabbit meat operation while also producing bison value-added goods direct-to-consumer (DTC) at farmers markets. I value regenerative, low-input grazing, traditional foodways, and building something rooted in place rather than scaling fast. My husband is a Commercial HVAC Superintendent with DEMA while also helping with farm labor and market logistics. I bring small-business marketing and DTC sales experience, and I'm eager to assist with hands-on livestock and land management from a local.
Business Plan
I do have one
Production Practices
Additional Details
My education and experience is within the bison, rabbit and equine industries. I grew up blue corn farming in Lakewood, CO with my Navajo grandfathers that aged out and no one took over. My goal is to eventually run a small bison herd but for now I will produce rabbit meat and farm small crops to keep them fed. As well as continue to produce bison tallow skincare. Myself and my children are available to assist with livestock and some crops. My children are 5 & 7 and are currently involved with equine activities and mutton bustin'. I believe children should grow up with ag and participate as much as possible.
