Nutripeak Farms: Organic Poultry, Raised by Nature in the Colorado Sunshine

Where Chickens Roam Free and Where Small Family Farming Thrives
At Nutripeak Farms located in Westcliffe, Colorado, raising chickens is about more than just great eggs or delicious meat—it’s about restoring balance between land, animals, and people. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Nutripeak is an organic pasture raised farm where chickens live as nature intended: outdoors, on pasture, under blue skies, and in sync with the rhythms of the land. Nutripeak Farms is run by a family of passionate, nature-first farmers who believe the best way to raise animals is to let them live as they would in the wild. Their farming style is guided by observation, patience, and trust in natural systems. Rather than imposing on the land, they listen to it—encouraging resilience with every season.

Partner Spotlight: A Visit to Westcliffe’s Heartland
We had the chance to connect with Wayne and his team at Nutripeak Farms and experience firsthand what it means to raise chickens on open pasture at high elevation. Their birds are free to roam across native grasses, forage for bugs and critters, and soak up fresh mountain air and sunshine—all while playing an important role in the farm’s regenerative ecosystem. The attention is in the detail at this farm. Happy hens means nutrient dense beautiful eggs.

What Sets Their Poultry Apart
Nutripeak Farms raises Certified Humane, organic, pasture-raised chickens with a strong focus on animal welfare and environmental health. This natural lifestyle results in healthier birds and more flavorful, nutrient-rich eggs. Their farm is inspected by the Colorado Department of Agriculture and all supplemental feed is high quality GMO free mix.  Wayne's family collects, washes and sanitize the eggs by hand before they candle, grade, and package them for delivery across the Front Range. Ours eggs are delivered to us at Pasture Provisions every Wednesday to ensure customers get the freshest product available.

Meet the Farmers Behind Nutripeak
Nutripeak Farms is a family owned farm operated by Wayne Miller. Their chicken adventure began with the construction of a massive dirt floored solar powered barn in 2017 at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range, which is the home to ~2000 pasture-raised hens that lay beautiful brown eggs.  The barn is where they sleep and lay eggs to protect them from predators and cold winter nights, but every morning they open the door so they can go outside to their expansive 80 acre pasture to do what chickens do best - scratch and eat in the beautiful landscape of the Rockies.
