About Me

Hi there!

 

I’m Connie Byers, and I’m excited to welcome you to my unbound life here on our homestead, Byers Ranch! Together with my husband Dan, we live on 36 acres of mountaintop in Southwest Colorado, where we raise chickens, grow our own food, and forage our land for medicinal and wild foods. 

​

​By choosing to live a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle, we’ve enriched our lives in so many ways. Gone are the days of relying on the store for all our needs. Today, we grow, harvest, and store most of our own produce in our garden. We hunt and fish, and, of course, our chickens provide us with plenty of fresh eggs.

From Earth to Body

 

Our homestead is also home to Byers Ranch Apothecary. Most of the herbs and botanicals used in our line are grown in our garden using organic practices or sustainably wild foraged from our land. Anything we don’t grow or forage ourselves is ethically and sustainably sourced and local whenever possible.

​

​Most of our products start out as herbs, macerating in oils or alcohol for a minimum of four to six weeks. After the herbs have been filtered out, what remains is a potent oil or tincture rich in natural compounds. When it comes to our apothecary line, each step is done intentionally, and each batch is carefully small batch crafted by hand.
