We are a small off-grid family farm at 8500′ in Custer County, CO. Our hemp, produce, and animals are grown using natural and organic practices. We design and make all our bath and home products from scratch with quality natural ingredients.
We started Big Nugget Farm in 2017 after moving to Westcliffe from Denver. We had done some research into what hemp could do for the body and mind, and being as though we’re into natural and healthy living, it seemed to be a perfect fit. We have been growing hemp every year since, and 2023 will be our 7th year planting a hemp crop. We slowly started adding produce to our farm, beginning with onions and potatoes. Now we grow just about everything that will survive (and finish) at 8500′. We use organic and natural practices to grow everything, including our animals. We’ve been doing the local farmer’s market since 2018. We live completely off-grid with our four boys.
