Frost Ranch History

Frost Livestock has a rich family history that dates back to 1958. Now in their fourth generation of ranching, the Frost family continues to operate with a focus on local food and regenerative practices.

1958

 
 

Jon Wallace Frost II began building a ranch and home in the Fountain Valley strong enough to support a family of 11. Primarily focused on cattle and hay production, the Fountain Creek Ranch gave rise to multiple generations of agriculturalists. Jay, Sam, and Will Frost now operate Frost Livestock with a commitment to regenerative practices with a hand in environmental conservation.

The Frosts take pride in growing delicious, healthy, and sustainable food—including greens, beets, onions, potatoes, beans, leeks, chile, and grass-fed/grass-finished lamb and beef. Since the company’s incorporation in 1962, the Frost family has worked hard to create and sustain lasting commitments to the future of agriculture in Colorado via paid internships, educational involvement, and communal celebrations.

In addition to ranching and farming, the Frosts developed a hunting club, the Frost Ranch Sportsmen Club, to further communal outreach to those seeking recreational activities. The club is dedicated to offering hunting opportunities to members with an understanding for agriculture and sustainable game management.  Utilizing the Frost family home, the Big House, members can enjoy a comfortable, rustic stay at the ranch while sharing memories with family and friends.

In order to continue ranching and farming, the Frost family has opened its doors to the Big House, a 6 bedroom, 5 bathroom ranch house.  The house sits as the focal point for events of various sizes and overnight stays.  In partnership with organizations like Colorado Open Lands, Palmer Land Conservancy, and various local businesses, the Frost family intends to remain in agriculture and serve as humble land managers dedicated to holistic resource management.
