The Rolling R — the founders likely have beginnings similar to yours. Bret’s parents moved from Illinois to Colorado prior to his birth, both from agricultural backgrounds. So for Bret, ag runs in his blood.Susanne’s parents are from suburban backgrounds, 4 generations removed from farming and ranching.Although Bret and Susanne grew up locally in Lakewood, CO, they shared a passion and love for the outdoors. Camping, hiking, and fishing filled their high school and college years and early careers centered around wildlife and the land.Their family grew, and with the addition of their youngest, time spent afield with bow, muzzleloader, or rifle in hand dwindled. Their first born, Brooke, was raised solely on meat from the hunt. Now with Dalton, their second daughter, and Bridger, their son, time flies leaving little time for the hunt, but the desire to provide high quality food persists.The idea — create a farm on 2 acres! Done. Chickens came first. Fresh eggs, free ranging. Raising turkeys followed, then a horse, which led to a fortuitous visit to a cattle ranch (more on that soon), and then, inevitably, cattle. The 2-acres filled and the search for nearby land began.The idea blossomed and, prior to Covid, the Rollers provided local, natural, hormone and antibiotic free high-quality pork and beef. Covid brought the closing of restaurants and impacted the homestead BUT enabled the Rollers to return to their routes – teaching others and sharing their dream with those seeking a simpler lifestyle.The Rollers spent over 10 years teaching outdoors skills courses through Colorado State University (over 4,000 students). Additionally, the Rollers volunteer their time and their homestead to special needs adults, visit senior centers with goats providing amazing therapy for those suffering from memory loss, and provide animal and equine therapy to our Veterans. Their operation expanded to a 17- acre homebase with additional acres 2 miles away for grazing. The homestead hosts sheep for wool, horses, chickens, goats, mini highland cattle, Akaushi cattle, and grandma’s llama.We look forward to providing your family with a step back into simple living and a connection to the outdoors thru our animals. Join our family and come experience a local homestead!
