Where are we located?

We're in an unincorporated rural pocket in between Boulder, Longmont, Niwot, Lafayette, Erie and Louisville.   

Do we have a retail front?

We have a self-serve, honor system farm stand (in the old horse trailer) located in the driveway! Check out out the The Farm Stand page for more info! 

Who are we?

Noelle - Originally from Idaho, but a Coloradan for the last 28+ years (yikes, time flies).I love growing yummy things to eat and will never cease to be amazed watching seeds sprout and grow into something exponentially larger.  I love a good get together with friends and family and hanging with my livestock peeps, learning each of their individual personalities.  Felting (needle and wet varieties) is my therapy and the only thing I adore more than felting myself is introducing others to the magic! And I simply adore BBQ.  I love eating it and even more so I love making it for others to enjoy.  Some ladies collect shoes - I, on the other hand, collect BBQs!  Why?  It's tasty of course.... but it also forces me to slow down.  Ya can't rush good BBQ.  And slowing down in today's world can be a challenge!

What do we do?

We raise Icelandic sheep for meat and fiber as well as heritage turkeys, fresh eggs and seasonal produce on a small, local scale.  

Why do we do this?

Because it's fun!  Dare i say therapeutic?   And as Alton Brown would say - Good Eats!  ...  A great way to keep active without having to go to a gym ...  And a way we can contribute to our community and the world we live in, albeit small.

Where did Big Ash Farm get it's name?

Well - we have just that, a very big ash tree in our yard.  In fact, the tree guy who came to look at trimming it claimed it to be the biggest ash (tree) he’s seen!  So it seemed fitting.  It also gives us some options should we ever lose the ash tree to that dreadful ash borer bug (please no!) – we could rename it Lost Our Ash Farm.  ROFL!
