Tarryall Mountain Farms

Our 2010 Season is now history, and it was quite a season--- we did get a few things planted and harvested despite a variety of challenges.........Time will only tell if the snows, rains and run-off will provide enough moisture for the 2011 season-- we think they will. We certainly appreciate our loyal custormers and want to say a special thanks to those of you who came out and got your hands dirty.
Tarryall Mountain Farms is a non-profit, small, high altitude, sustainable and educational farm located in the historic Tarryall Valley of central Colorado. Located at 8800' (where the weather is interesting throughout the year) and along a meandering stretch of the Tarryall River (with fertile subirrigated bottom land) we continue to pursue an ever widening range of responsible farming practices and techniques to produce high quality produce. We believe that everyone should be able to eat good, locally-grown food that they can count on. Our goal is to learn and share, combining the best practices of the early Tarryall and South Park pioneers with modern sustainability to help create a more healthy future.We grow stuff without pesticides and focus on growing the best produce, using seeds collected from resposible sources and leaving the dirt and things around us better than they were before the whole process started.

We provide local produce and educational opportunities for groups and individuals directly at the farm and send off various quantities of produce to non profit groups in surrounding counties throughout the late summer gowing and harvesting time.

Locally Grown

Growing hay, grain and produce in the Tarryall Valley is nothing new-- it's been going on for generations. But during the past 60 years agricultural efforts have focussed only on hay and cattle. We're committed to helping bring back locally grown, high altitude Park County produce to the tables of South Park and the surrounding mountain communities.

Farm and Farm Store

Tarryall Mountain Farms is located on land first homesteaded by Albert Bradley in the mid 1800's and later developed as a working ranch by Ed Williams. The structures were declared a Park County Historic Site in 2008 and are in the midst of restoration. The structures offer a real glimpse into the past and serve as lodging and the headquarters for Historic Williams Ranch-- a lodging/fly fishing/hunting operation owned and operated by Ed Ragain. The farm and homestead are open to the public from mid July through September each Saturday and Sunday from 11 am- 4 pm.

Education

A major part of the TMF mission is to take what we learn and do and pass it along to others who can put it to use in their real world. Programs and hands-on experience are available for groups and individuals. Check-out our opportunities and come and get your hands dirty.
