Ames Family

Welcome to the Boise Creek Farm website! We are Bob and Gina Ames and we raise Scottish Highland Cattle in Enumclaw, Washington, a beautiful farming community known as the gateway to Mount Rainier.
	At left is a picture of Bob, who grew up on a farm in southern California and has been around cattle for years. As a boy he raised several steer during his FFA years. One of them took first place at the Victorville Fair and was purchased by Roy Rogers, the "King of the Cowboys". That was a memorable childhood event! Several years ago Bob decided that we should sell our Herefords and raise Scottish Highland cattle. It was a good move, because they have proved to be a wonderful breed to own and handle. Bob likes to show the best of our fold at the Puyallup Fair each year. So, if you are at the fair, stop by the cattle barn for a visit. Bob enjoys farming, fishing, hiking, grandchildren, riding his Harley, tinkering with cars, trading stocks, gardening, technology, and talking to people.
To the right is a picture of me (Gina). I grew up here in western Washington. I've always loved the country; I'm not a city girl. After Bob and I had lived in the suburbs for many years, we began to search for the perfect country farm house. When we found Boise Creek Farm, we knew right away that it was home. The house was built in 1927 and the barn is older yet. We are having fun restoring the house and creating a yard full of color - lot's and lot's of never-ending projects! Bob has two wonderful daughters (my step-daughters), Andrea and Ashley, and we have two beautiful grand daughters, Katelyn and Alyssa. We share our home with four beloved cats, Scarlett, Whiskey, Willow, and Woody. I enjoy gardening, landscape design, antique hunting, farming, home decorating, reading, website design, and exploring the countryside on the back of Bob's Harley.
Bob and I are Harley Davidson enthusiasts and we highly recommend the Enumclaw area as a beautiful destination. It seems that rural, open-spaces are rapidly disappearing. But in Enumclaw, you can still find pastures of cattle, horses, and other livestock. There are beautiful old farm houses and lovely country roads to explore. We have lot's of wildlife around us, including elk, eagles, and even vultures. Click here to find out more. If you are interested in Highland Cattle, please contact us and we'll be happy to show you our fold.
