Alpine Bee is a family owned & operated business focused on all-natural beeswax products including candles and wax melts scented with phthalate & GMO-free scent ingredients. We also offer organic seasonal produce like greens, carrots, herbs & tomatoes grown in our greenhouse, spring-fall. We started Alpine Bee in 2016, after searching for candles that didn’t contain carcinogenic chemicals, bleach, petroleum, metal wicks, GMOs and other ingredients we didn’t want to burn and breathe in our home. We use local beeswax and clean scent ingredients like essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils. We are planning to expand our candle line with new containers and a few new scents, while also ramping up our wholesale business. We will continue to support the preservation of pollinator populations by donating to organizations who conduct research and provide information to the public.
FUN FACT: Beeswax candles emit negative ions when burning, which neutralize the positive charge of pollutants like dust, mold, and allergens in the air. The neutralized ions are then either sucked back into the candle or fall to the ground. Beeswax candles are therefore considered a healthier option for indoor air quality, especially for people with allergies or asthma. They also burn hotter than other types of candles, which means they produce more negative ions!

Owning this ranch is the achievement of my childhood dream to be a rancher. My idea of what it means to ranch has evolved over the last 20 years living in Steamboat. After working on other ranches in the Yampa Valley and caring for cattle, sheep, and even elk, I realized that I have a responsibility to use my land to raise cattle humanely AND to leave that land better than I found it. Located near the Elkhead Reservoir outside Hayden, Bears Ears Ranch is named after the local iconic peak. I manage 235 acres for my typical herd size of 20. I am intentional in how my animals are raised.

Bio
Through a background in economic empowerment with for-profit and non-profit organizations, many trials, tribulations, and wins, I have landed on developing a replicable and profitable farming model that will help localize food production. I am passionate about the concept and realize to truly understand a system, you have to put yourself in it. To that end, I’ve built the initial farm model on my property here in Steamboat (Strawberry Park). We run two indoor growing facilities on site as well as 3 greenhouses and 3500 sq.ft. of outdoor growing space.
I believe localizing food production is possible in any town in America and have a profitable model to prove it.

The flock includes black australorp, speckled Sussex, barred rock, black star, red star, golden-laced wyandotte, bielefelder, and whiting true green. Vegetarian chicken feed is supplemented with vegetable scraps and greens.

Organic growing practices are implemented in the greenhouse and outside garden, including the use of beneficial insects to control pests.

Sitting above Elkhead Creek, below Elkhead Reservoir, on the border of Moffat/ Routt Counties, our 131 acres of natural grasses and meandering river are perfect for a Prime Plus Pasture finished Wagyu Beef Operation, “Yampa Valley Wagyu”. Our Wagyu are American Wagyu Steers raised on these beautiful river grasses. Cattle in the U.S. can reach slaughter around 16 months, Wagyu reach slaughter 30 months or longer. Because they live longer they eat more feed which is one reason Wagyu brings a higher price. Marbling, or intramuscular fat, is what gives Wagyu its melt in your mouth texture and rich buttery taste. The welfare of our animals and flavor profile are our premier concern, we believe in raising them as naturally and humanely as possible. Our cattle are grazed on the lush green grasses in the growing seasons of spring, summer and fall, supplemented with local grass hay and sunflower pellets (Mechanical Extracted Sunflower Meal; min 27% crude protein, min 9% crude fat, max 25% crude fiber from Colorado Mills in Lamar, Colorado .

We offer our produce fresh as well as incorporated into delectable baked goods and other value-added products.

We have a number of different growing environments in which we grow more traditional annual and perennial fruits (apples, cherries, berries, etc.), vegetables (greens, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc.), and herbs(culinary and medicinal), as well as more atypical Mediterranean plants such as citrus and figs. We use all natural products and lots of compost. We use crop rotation and cover cropping with green manure or nitrogen fixers to help maintain soil health. We rely on beneficial insects to aid us in combating pest problems, as well as for pollination. We import these good bugs and also plant habitats that entice and support bees, ladybugs,and other beneficial insects. We plant in patterns that enable the plants to support each other, the way a natural forest occurs, with upper-stories of trees, mid-stories of berry bushes, and under-stories of herbs, vegetables, and cover crops. We call our outdoor gardens “Fruit Forests” because that’s what they are! We grow year round in our three unheated hoop houses and our greenhouse. The greenhouse is engineered to maximize passive solar heat and is supplemented by a pellet stove.

Grass-finished American Wagyu, individual cuts and shares
Bio
The Home Ranch produces grass-finished American Wagyu beef (Red Angus crossed with Akaushi (Wagyu) cattle). The Akaushi Angus crosses allow for us to offer well-marbled, delicious beef that finishes better on grass, available at a lesser cost than pure Wagyu beef. Our beef steers rotationally graze through our ranch property in Clark, using electric fence or hard fences, and are grass-fed and finished. We use horses to move and check our cattle herds, because we love the traditional ranching style, but we also are open to the new! Which is why we embrace rotational grazing and put up miles and miles of electric fence each season, and also have recently started using virtual fence technology to help us even better protect riparian areas, or keep the cows out of, or in, areas that need less or more cattle impact. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have about our cattle operation, so e-mail beef@homeranch.com if you have anything you’d like to ask!

Jolly Ranch is a small family operation in Northwestern Colorado. We are committed to raising delicious, nutritious beef and marketing it directly from our family to yours.

Contented cattle are the only ones that really do well so we put a lot of effort into caring for and handling them in a way that is as stress-free as possible. We are simply being good stewards of the processes that naturally turn solar energy into grasses and then into pounds of beef. We ranch first of all because of the cattle. It’s very rewarding to see livestock flourish under good management practices. We also ranch because we love spending time with our family in the beautiful outdoors. Our family loves the ranch right down to the toddler! We know you have many options to choose from to feed your family.

Cottage foods: jams, jellies, pickled beets
Bio
Hi there, I’m Kaitlyn! I grew up in Hayden, CO and now live just down the road in Craig with my husband and our son. I’ve been canning and pickling for about 17 years now (which makes me older than I like to admit!), and it’s something that’s always brought me a lot of joy.
Many of my recipes have been passed down through my family — like my Grandma Lee’s pickled beets, which we’ve been making for over 80 years. When I can, I love buying fruits and veggies from local Colorado growers, then turning them into jams, jellies, and pickled goodies right in my kitchen.
What started as something my family couldn’t get enough of has grown into Kate’s Garden Pantry, a small Colorado Cottage Foods business I run from home. I’m so excited to share these jars with you, and I hope they bring a little bit of my family’s tradition to your table.

Grass fed & finished Yak
Bio
Latigo Ranch purchased a starter herd of yaks in July of 2020. Since then, we’ve learned a whole lot
about these unique animals! Yaks are built to live in the mountains, doing better on hardy food, rough country, and cold weather than most breeds of cattle. Yak heart and lung capacity are significantly higher by percentage than cattle and suit life over 8,000’ remarkably well. They calve very easily and have a low mortality rate. We comb out the winter fiber coat from our yaks so they don’t overheat in the mountain sun. We are able to send that fiber out for processing and sell the yarn in the Latigo Ranch gift shop. Yaks’ preference for rotational grazing and ranging make for a lower impact on pastureland than most cattle breeds, leaving good ground and grass for the next year. They range on mountain grass in the summer and eat locally sourced grass hay in the winter. We keep them up to date on basic bovine vaccines and de-worming medication. No antibiotics. No hormones. No inhumane treatments. Nothing but high-mountain yak!

Chicken Eggs – pasture/barn raised, non-GMO feed
Bio
Our family bought this small ranch in the South Valley in 2021. By working with Historic Routt County we learned that a previous owner, Mrs. Thorne, was known back in the day as “the chicken lady” for the eggs she would sell from
the property. With all the space, our family decided to honor that legacy and try out raising chickens (along with the hay) on the property. With the help of some pretty special sisters (Ferris and Waylon), the first flock of chicks were raised by hand with love….and we have been adding a few each year ever since. Our family is so excited to honor this little piece of history in Steamboat. While our family “inherited” this egg business from previous owners over the past 100 years at our ranch, we are delighted to put our own stamp on the South Valley. Moving here from the tropics we never thought we would be raising chickens, but are happy to honor and keep the legacy alive here!

We also sell Bison By-Products: Bison Fiber, Bones, Horn Caps, Skulls, and Hides. As a fun side project, we raise a current flock of 20 laying hens. Our chickens live in a palace equipped with electricity and water. They have two spacious runs that they roost in when it is nice out. The palace has automatic doors that open in the morning with the sunrise and close with the setting sun at night to keep them safe from predators. We feed them a vegetarian diet of layer pellets and scratch and pasture grass. They even have toys to play with when they are bored. We raise happy and stress-free chickens which you will be able to see in the color of the yolks and taste in the flavor of the egg. Holistic! What is Holistic? Holistic management is the process of managing people, funds, animals, and land in harmony and balance within its own whole and the other wholes it interacts with. Instead of just managing livestock we manage an entire ecosystem. With efficient grazing and encouraging natural processes to occur, we maximize the use of our land. By encouraging natural processes in the land it encourages the growth of the biodiversity among our pastures by bringing in new species of anything from bugs to birds to large game.

Flavored hot sauce
Bio
Founded in 2009 as an extension of the beloved Lupita’s Taco Temple, Lupita’s Hot Sauce was born from customer demand for bold, honest flavor. What started as house-made sauces served alongside tacos quickly evolved into small-batch bottles designed to travel far beyond the table.
Handcrafted in Colorado, Lupita’s Hot Sauce blends vibrant heat with balance and depth—never overpowering, always intentional. Each sauce reflects a commitment to quality ingredients, thoughtful production, and a community-first philosophy rooted in family, culture, and creativity.
More than a condiment, Lupita’s Hot Sauce is an invitation to gather, share, and add a little fire to everyday meals.
Lupita’s Taco Temple started as a small taco stand and grew because people kept asking for “just one more bite” and “a bottle to take home.” The brand has always expanded organically—led by community demand rather than trends or timelines.
The Taco Temple run seasonally down in Oak Creek, CO from May to September every year.

Cottage Foods: Sourdough Bread & Baked goods
Bio
Originally from Colorado’s Front Range, I married my high school sweetheart and we spent nearly a decade living in Alaska before returning back to Colorado. During that time, we lived a self-sufficient lifestyle—hunting our own meat, fishing, foraging, raising chickens, and preserving our own food. Health and wellness have always been a priority for us, but after having kids, I became especially mindful of what we were eating. That’s when I discovered sourdough. I loved that I could make wholesome, nutritious bread with just three simple ingredients, water, flour and salt. I knew it was something I felt proud to feed my family. What started as a personal passion quickly grew into something more, and it’s been a joy to share my sourdough with my community, knowing the health benefits it brings to others.

Cottage Foods: Jams, pickles, hand-painted cards, and more
Bio
I have been making jams & pickles for a long time; a tradition passed on to me from my grandmother. I have a spicy food lover in my house, so he inspired me to search for recipes that had a kick! From that came spicy jams, candied jalapeños, and sweet & spicy pickles. Some of my products are typically made with Palisade peaches and Montana cherries, both procured through various fundraisers – so you can feel good knowing you’re supporting a charity group while enjoying a delicious treat!
Don’t forget to check out my hand-painted, all original artwork greeting cards! I cycle through different themes, so there’s probably something new that you haven’t seen!
Insider tip: The Peach Habanero & Cranberry Jalapeño jams are great to use on soft cheeses, and grilled chicken or pork loin. Enjoy!

Cheese
Bio
Located on 300 acres at the left foot of Sleeping Giant just north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Milk from happy cows that live on pasture and eat a grass-based diet, is the basis of all our products. Our cows graze outdoors, year-round, our pastures are full of native alpine grasses, clovers, and legumes. This combination of forage (coupled with the mineral-laden irrigation water located here in Yampa Valley) is a perfect food for the cows. It is nutrient-dense, high in Omega 3 fatty acids, and the rapid rate at which the grasses grow serves to concentrate all of the goodness. There is no need for our cows to consume grain, the grass we grow here is all they need for health and vitality. Our herd is a diverse mix of heritage breed cows, known for both their rich milk, ability to thrive on grass alone, and smaller milk proteins. Our girls are a mix of Brown Swiss, Jersey, Guernsey, and Normandy breeds. Low stress cows eating grass and with freedom to roam produce rich, creamy, high-quality milk that makes amazing cheese!

Dog Treats
Bio
It all started with love for dogs, organic ingredients, and a tiny kitchen. Our journey started in Iowa in 2014, we opened up a natural pet food store named Zoe’s Pet Deli, we specialized in healthy diets for dogs and cats. In 2017 we launched our dog treat company, emphasizing on healthy dog treats. Four stores carried our treats and we were just starting to really grow…..but….the mountains were calling…..so here we are!! We sure do miss all of our furry customers in Iowa, they helped us pick our best sellers! Our mission is and always will be, food is medicine, this applies to our pets as well. We use all organic human-grade ingredients, we love eating the dog treats too! We have regular organic peanut butter and organic pumpkin treats, rolled oats and organic peanut butter balls, pup cakes, pupsicles, treat boxes, as well as CBD treats. Our CBD comes from a small Colorado farm right to our kitchen. We formulated our CBD treats for our Co-Founder Zoe, (who crossed the rainbow bridge in June of 2018), she had major arthritic pain. Providing natural relief for our furry friends one small batch at a time is what we do.

Grass-fed and finished beef and lamb products, fresh vegetables
Bio
We raise 100% grass-fed and finished lamb and beef using organic and regenerative practices. Our livestock are raised right here on our farm and processed locally. Our business first started in 2018 and at that time focused on growing vegetables and raising chickens for eggs and meat. We have evolved over the years and now our focus is on holistically raising 100% grass-fed and finished lamb and beef. It is our passion to raise the highest quality, most nutrient dense meats possible for our family and yours. We love what we do and feel honored to be a small part of the circle of life here on our farm. We believe in managing our farm as a small part of the ecosystem as a whole and know that our practices of regenerative and organic agriculture are a necessary and valuable asset to the health of this land we are part of. Our livestock are rotationally grazed on our irrigated mountain meadows spring through fall and are fed hay that is cut and baled right here on the property during the winter months. We hope to continue to grow our business and help our community members fall in love with our sustainably raised meats. Mikinzie Taylor knew from a young age that she wanted to work outside. At first, her dream took her to Colorado State University where she received her bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Biology. However, Mikinzie turned her eyes toward farming soon after graduating and never looked back. After interning at Cure Organic Farm in Boulder, CO in 2016, Mikinzie and her husband moved to Steamboat Springs where their dreams of owning their own farm became a reality in 2018. Mystic Hills Farmstead is slowly and thoughtfully growing and with the hope of one day become a staple in the local food community in Steamboat Springs, CO. Mikinzie is thrilled to grow healthy, delicious food not only for her family but for her community as well. At the farm, you will usually find Mikinzie tending to the garden, working “behind the scenes” on admin work for the farm, or attempting to keep up with her 3 boys. Her husband, Jack, can be found managing the farm’s livestock operation.

O’Johnson Giardiniera – It all started with a love for Giardiniera the first time Dave visited Chicago. It was always too hot for Colleen. Long story short, when we all were not allowed to do anything back in April 2020, we decided to try making our own Giardiniera. We started selling our Giardiniera at the Hayden Farmers Market that summer. Dave does the chopping and Colleen does the sealing. Giardiniera means “gardener” in Italian. In Chicago, where Colleen is from, it is a must-have household condiment. It adds flavor to anything, Italian beef sandwiches, pizza, sausage, burgers, hot dogs. sandwiches, salad, eggs, muffuletta layer, pasta salad, spaghetti, antipasto, add to your cottage cheese, baked potato, dips, charcuterie boards, ANY crockpot dish and more. Not your traditional relish. We let the vegetables do the talking. Jars are shelf stable for a year. Once opened we recommend refrigerating. You can buy our products year-round at the CAA Market in Downtown Steamboat Springs. In the Summer, you can find us at the Hayden Farmers Market on Thursday nights from 5-8pm and 2 Sundays a month at the Oak Creek Market. SUPPORT LOCAL!!

Grass and grain finished Angus beef
Bio
Growing up on working ranches/farms that raised beef cattle has taught us about
hard work, responsibility and compassion. These traits are necessary when raising
cattle, along with the ability to have a quality productive environment. That is
exactly what we have in South Routt County near Yampa, Colorado. Raising cattle has always been in our blood and that led us to once again starting our herd of Black Angus. We focus on breeding and genetics because this is an important
aspect of beef production that directly influences the quality of the meat
produced. Desirable traits like muscle development, marbling, tenderness and
overall carcass quality are goals for raising quality beef. Our cows and heifers are pasture bred by registered Black Angus bulls. Along with their calves, they thrive on our upper ranch that overlooks the Yampa Valley, grazing on alpine meadows from May to October each year: irrigated meadows, aspen groves, fresh spring water and a creek. In the Fall we bring them home to graze on irrigated meadows after the hay has been put up and during the winter months, they’re fed high quality grass and/or alfalfa hay. We produce both grass finished and grain finished beef, depending on the time of year and customer preferences. Grain finishing tends to offer more marbling and flavor. All of our
cattle are raised on pastures for their entire life, with grain finished steers having
responsibly sourced grains added to their diet for the last 3 months to aid the finishing. After being butchered, we dry age the beef from 14 to 21 days. No antibiotics or hormones, ever. Simply put, we raise our cattle with the ultimate care, love and respect they deserve. We know that providing an excellent environment is essential to raising and producing quality beef, while being stewards of the land and the habitat that graces us!
Thank you for buying our beef! Live life, eat beef!

Beef and lamb products
Bio
The Knott Ranch is nestled under the Flat Tops of Oak Creek, Colorado. We are five generations of stewarding the land and producing wholesome, safe, and nutritious lamb and beef while still providing critical wildlife habitat and healthy rivers. We strive for both sustainability in managing our natural resources to provide reliable products year after year and resiliency in being able to adapt to both changing economic and ecological conditions. Our ranch has been in our family for 85 years. We are looking towards becoming a Centennial Ranch. The livestock are born, raised, and cared for in South Routt County at the headwaters of Trout Creek in the Yampa River Basin, providing the consumer with a truly locally sourced meat. We have been selling lamb and beef direct for years. Now fully established with USDA labeling, you can feel secure knowing our products are butchered and processed locally. Our animals are raised with love and respect, and we enjoy providing healthy and wholesome products. The cattle and sheep graze mountain pastures from June through November until snow requires they be fed native grass hay produced on the ranch. During the summer months, our livestock have free range in large mountain pastures ranging from 100 to 1,200 acres in size. The lush feed of brome and timothy grasses produce phenomenal rates of gain. The animals are checked regularly by horseback during which the pasture conditions and grazing pressure is carefully monitored. The ranch uses a modified deferred-rotational grazing system. The goal is to keep the animals on fresh forage and clean water while leaving sufficient residual feed to sustain wildlife and hold the snowpack through the winter. Pasture rotation and resting occurs to ensure plants mature to seed production at least once every three years. Our animals are never given hormones or antibiotics to enhance growth. Quality control is paramount and animals are individually identified to ensure traceability and health. Everything is pasture bred.

The Wellman family is five generation ranchers from Northwestern Colorado. We have been raising registered Corriedales since 1976 when we purchased 5 ewe lambs from Savery, Wyoming. Since that time we have grown and developed a flock that is focused on outstanding productive traits and beautiful fleeces. We have expanded to include several breeds that we have crossed to meet the needs of all wool lovers.
