That sparks what they do, and who they are.</p><p>And today, I want to introduce you to Azuraye Wycoff. She grew up in Boulder, Colorado, on a family farm - now Yellow Barn Farm - that’d been used for everything from horses to food, but then headed East to go to college and thought she was never coming back. She founded a moving company in Boston, but something inside her called her back to Boulder in the fall of 2020. And shortly after she arrived, she was greeted with a profoundly transformational experience in the form of a wildfire that almost destroyed the family farm. At the last minute, shifting winds spared it, leaving her with a mission. To reimagine the land as a regenerative, sustainable, biodynamic ecosystem, not just a farm, but a community where they're bringing together different farmers and local stakeholders to create something truly extraordinary together. And, the Sparketypes, as we’ll discover, played a very cool role in all of this.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Learn more about Azuraye &amp; the Yellow Barn Farm:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href=\"https://www.yellowbarn.farm/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.yellowbarn.farm</a></p><p>Insta: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/yellowbarn.farm/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@yellowbarn.farm</a></p><p><br></p><p>And more on Sparketypes at:<a href=\"https://sparketype.com/assessment/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> Discover You Sparketype</a> |<a href=\"https://sparketype.com/book/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> The Book</a> |<a href=\"https://sparketype.com/sparked-freshstart-workshop-feb?utm_campaign=01aH_e2&amp;utm_content=l1&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=activecampaign\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> The Workshop</a> |<a href=\"https://sparketype.com//\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> The Website</a></p>","author_name":"Jonathan Fields"}
