Nestled on a small homestead outside of Hotchkiss, Blue Bees Trading Co. is home to a unique and carefully tended herd of yak, along with a flock of happy chickens. For the folks who steward this land, these animals are far more than livestock—they’re part of the family, raised with deep care, respect, and daily attention.
The yak and chickens are pasture-raised year-round, grazing on grass and enjoying open space. During the winter months, they’re fed locally sourced hay to keep them nourished through the colder season. The farm follows organic practices with a strong commitment to clean, ethical agriculture—no hormones, no antibiotics, and no GMOs.
Blue Bees Trading Co. is a reflection of thoughtful homesteading and a genuine love for animals, producing food that is as honest and wholesome as the land it comes from. 🐂🥚🌾
