In 2020, amid a changing world, we felt a strong pull to return to our roots. City life no longer felt like home, and we knew it was time to go back to the rural life we both loved. We are Gary and Ruby Kyle, and today we live and farm in Northern Colorado.

Gary was born and raised in Colorado, and Ruby moved here after high school and has spent her adult life in this state. Farming and ranching have always been part of our story. Although our careers required us to spend several years living in the city, the desire to return to the land never left us. In 2021, we made the decision to sell our home and head back to the country for good.

Now in our sixties, it’s just the two of us running our small farm. We do all the daily work ourselves while still holding full-time jobs to support the farm as it grows. Our goal is to become fully self-sustainable and eventually leave the corporate world behind. We joke that we almost named the farm “Aching Back Farm,” but we were reminded that we live on a hill and, by the grace of God, we’ve been given many blessings. Grace Hill Farm felt like the right name.

Between us, we have four children, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Our farm family also includes our two Rottweilers, Keno and Bär, and our livestock guardian dogs, Gunner and Faith.

All of our livestock are raised on pasture — never in feedlot pens. We currently raise pasture-fed Black Angus, Highland, HighPark, and Speckle Park cattle. Our White Park bull is a miniature sire and has given us some beautiful calves, including sought-after minis. In addition, we raise chickens, turkeys, and our registered Nigerian Dwarf goats.

We raise our animals without growth hormones and avoid routine antibiotics, supplementing with high-quality non-GMO feed when needed. Our hope is to continue growing the farm while providing healthy, thoughtfully raised products to the families we serve.

We’re grateful for this next chapter and honored to share it with you.
