The Light of Dog Farm

Our Farm

The Light of Dog Farm is a work in progress. We purchased the property in 2009 as a foreclosure and got everything you might expect with a foreclosure – a good price, but an enormous mess, too!

Since then we have done the following:

remodeled most of the house and fixed the barns;
built out indoor and outdoor dog training areas;
remodeled part of our house to serve as the boarding center along with a USDA licensed kitchen for our dog food products'
removed many large piles of junk left over from the previous owners (27 large dumpsters worth!)
built hiking trails, sitting benches, dog parkour obstacles, a rock climbing wall, Ninja Warrior obstacles, archery station, shooting range, ax throwing backstop and a horseshoe pit;
created agriculture space for growing food;
fenced in the entire property and created sections for our private dog park rentals.

We grow using regenerative practices. Our chickens are housed indoors in a 10x7x8 protected area with space to move around in a secure 12x8x12 outdoor attachment. We free range them using chicken tunnels to our garden area. When available, we feed them organic, corn-free, soy-free and canola-free feed, which supplements their diet of bugs and plant matter that they consume while free-ranging.

Pups & Pancakes Events

Get ready to wag your tails and lick your chops for our pawsome series of Pups & Pancakes events.

Picture this: a beautiful Colorado summer morning outdoors on our property, enjoying splendid views of the front range and the west plum creek valley, where you and your fidos can explore and socialize, all while fueling up on flapjacks, coffee, and all the fixings.

It's the perfect chance to bond with your pup, meet fellow dog lovers, and indulge in a delightful breakfast together.

Don't miss out on our tail-waggingly, pawsitively puptastic events with friends, food, fun and fresh air.

We griddle-up blueberry pancakes for our human guests and include coffee (decaf and regular) along with pancake condiments like maple syrup and butter. We have our Peak Power Dog Treats for our canine guests and water for both humans and canines.

Hounds & Harvests Events

We open our farm to the public for a fleeting farmers market. Think of it as a pop-up market with a side of tail wags.

We'll have seasonal produce (perfect for both human and canine connoisseurs) and some eggscellent eggs from our very own flock (just don't tell the chickens the puns are fowl!).

Be warned, these markets are as unpredictable as a squirrel on a sugar rush! We may not have produce available in some years and our egg supply is a cluck-and-see situation.
