Our Farm
Boyles Family Farms is a 20 acre patch of heaven on the plains of Colorado, where we grow vegetables, flowers, meat, and landscape trees using sustainable farming practices. We are not, like most Weld County farmers, from a long line of Weld County farmers. In fact, we're pretty green, but we're managing to figure it out.
Our vision is to create a diversified farm that grows clean, nourishing food for our family and others in Northern Colorado. We're small scale and we like it that way. We can't always compete with large scale agribusiness on price, but we absolutely outcompete most large operations on other things that matter. Flavor and taste. Environmental responsibility. Relationship with consumers. Independence from government subsidies. Water conservation. Community involvement. Transparency of process. Humane care of animals. These are things we value, and we feel it's important to ethically represent those values with our products.
In 2007, we started growing flowers on leased land in Loveland, Colorado, and purchased our own farm in Gill, Colorado in 2008. Since then, we have been busy converting the 20 acre hay field into a diversified, sustainable small family farm by installing a drip irrigation system, busting rows for crops out of the alfalfa, and desperately reading as many cooperative extension publications as possible. We are the proud parents of the loveliest farmhands around (Madzie and Simon), and the sometimes frustrated owners of two useless farm dogs (Spiderman and Big Rig).
