11 best egg farms in Colorado

James Ranch
Durango · Eggs, raw milk4.7 · 1,342 reviewsJames Ranch is a family ranch in the Animas Valley outside Durango, Colorado, where regenerative practices guide everything raised on the land: 100% grass fed and finished beef, artisan cheeses made truly raw from the milk of their 100% grass fed Jersey cows, eggs from pastured hens, vegetables, flowers and native trees. The cattle and dairy cows are never fed grain, calving follows the grass in spring, and rotational grazing builds topsoil and outcompetes weeds. Kay and David James raised five children here, and the family now runs seven enterprises on the ranch, from the beef and cheese to gardens, a tree farm and the James Ranch School, guided by disciplined quarterly family meetings. An onsite market sells the ranch's products alongside goods from named local farmers, and the table on the farm grill cooks with ingredients straight off the ranch. Self guided tours, live music and events welcome visitors.
Mountain Goat Lodge
Salida · Eggs, raw milk4.8 · 293 reviewsMountain Goat Lodge is a bed and breakfast set within 20 acres of rolling pastures at the foot of the Sawatch Range near Salida, Colorado. The resident dairy goats, Oberhasli among them, roam the meadows and provide the milk, cheese and yogurt served at the lodge's home cooked breakfasts and used in its cheese making classes, and every goat has a name and a distinct personality. Alongside the rooms the lodge runs a milk herdshare. Members pay a small fee to join the herd, which entitles them to buy raw goat and cow milk and dairy products made from it, such as yogurt and various cheeses, along with fresh eggs. There is no set monthly amount; members simply text their order the day before pickup, and they are welcome to come and watch the milking each day. Cheese making, goat husbandry and chicken care classes run through the year.
Shag Valley Regenerative Farm
Grand Junction · Eggs, raw milk5.0 · 30 reviewsShag Valley Regenerative Farm is Dawn and Ron Donalson's family farm on Colorado's Western Slope, near Grand Junction, running since 2000. The farm keeps things honest and simple, in its own words: dairy, eggs, beef and pork produced without added hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, toxins or synthetic fertilizers. Raw milk is offered through shares from their goat herd, and the farm store lists farm fresh eggs, ground beef, tallow, lard, elderberry syrup, local honey, kefir grains and bee pollen. Dawn is a certified GAPS coach, a traditional foods educator and a Weston A Price Foundation chapter leader since 2006, and teaches cooking, fermentation and sourdough classes on the farm alongside seasonal tours with the baby animals. Ron manages the day to day of the livestock, land and the family's farmstay spaces. The family homesteads here with a focus on simple, sustainable living, and visits are by appointment only.

Egg shares and pork bundles are offered too, along with a cheese makers special, and the dairy asks new members to ring and talk through the plans before joining.

Ebert Family Farm
Byers · Eggs, raw milk5.0 · 8 reviewsEbert Family Farm is a family dairy in Byers, Colorado supplying raw milk through a cow share programme. The herd grazes native grass pasture and is never fed grain, with alfalfa brought in over winter, and the cows are bred naturally and raised without hormones. Each share entitles you to a gallon of milk a week, bottled in half gallon glass jars and delivered weekly to distribution points, with board and delivery billed as you go. Ordering runs through an online system where you can put your share on hold when away, so you never pay for milk you do not receive. Half shares are available too.
Somewhere in La Mancha
Fort Collins · Eggs, raw milkSomewhere in La Mancha is a small community farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, that began with six chickens and an incubator and grew into a place for reconnecting people with their food. The farm keeps over 100 heritage breed poultry and waterfowl alongside alpacas, goats and Dulcinea, the mini Jersey family cow who provides milk, cream and cheese for the family table. This is a farm you visit rather than a shop you browse. Time slots to meet the animals, hold baby chicks or sit with the baby goats are booked online, and the farm welcomes anyone who simply wants to slow down and listen to the place. Phone or email to arrange a time.
Homestead Ranch
Pierce · Eggs, raw milkHomestead Ranch is a family run goat dairy and livestock farm in Pierce, near Greeley in northern Colorado. The family has been in farming for over 50 years, keeping goats for more than 13 years and pigs and cattle for over 9. The herd is mostly La Manchas with a few Nubians and Alpines, and all the livestock is raised on grass and alfalfa hay, rotationally grazed through the summer and fed grass and alfalfa through the winter. Raw goat milk is supplied through a herd share programme, the legal route in Colorado, with the milk tested monthly and the herd tested for brucellosis and tuberculosis. Beyond the milk there is farmstead goat cheese the family has been making for ten years, plus beef, pork and goat meat sold through the online shop, and goat milk soaps, lotions and lip balms. The goats do not milk from December through March so the milk pauses over winter, and boarding fees pause with it. The ranch also runs a seasonal goat grazing service for weed control from April to October, accepts SNAP and EBT, and delivers locally for a small fee.
Willmarth Family Farm
Loma · Eggs, raw milkWillmarth Family Farm is a veteran owned and operated A2/A2 raw milk dairy and farm store at Loma, on Colorado's western slope. Ralph and Lori Willmarth raise Jersey, Guernsey and Holstein cross cows, and on this farm every cow has a name. Raw milk is available through a herd share subscription, with the milk tested once a month at a lab in Fort Collins. Ralph is a member of the Farmer Veteran Coalition and the farm is registered with Homegrown by Heroes, realmilk.com and the Department of Public Health. Depending on the season the dairy also offers kefir, yogurt and cream. Humanely raised, pastured hens forage freely in open fields for eggs, and the farm's cattle are grass fed and grass finished, sold by the quarter, half or whole. The farm store, a white tin building with a welcome sign and a red door, carries local, organic and raw products including honey and maple syrup from other local farms.
Grand View Acres
Palisade · Eggs, raw milkGrand View Acres is a regenerative, direct to consumer farm in Palisade, Colorado, run by farmer owners Dakota and Christina. Their certified A2/A2 raw milk comes from grass fed Jersey cows that are rotationally grazed and never given antibiotics or growth hormones. The milk is offered through a herdshare registered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment: members own a share of the Jersey herd and collect a gallon a week, and the farm shares ongoing herd health and milk testing information openly. The whole farm runs 100 percent corn and soy free. Alongside the dairy they raise American Berkshire Association registered heritage pigs and laying hens that alternate between a free range enclosure and a pasture raised mobile coop, fed a corn and soy free mix for genuinely low PUFA eggs. Herdshare members get first pick of the eggs and pork, and farm pickups run daily until 6pm.
Vision Farms
De Beque · Eggs, raw milkVision Farms is a family operated farm on U Road near De Beque, on Colorado's western slope, where the family has farmed since 2000. The heart of the farm is a herd of purebred Jersey milk cows offered through herd shares: Colorado law allows milk only from an animal you own, so share owners become part owners of the herd and collect a gallon of fresh, whole raw milk each week while the farm feeds, cares for and milks the cows. From late spring to mid fall the cows get all the green grass they can eat, with a small ration of ground oats, alfalfa pellets and dried molasses at milking time and grass and alfalfa hay in winter. The farm also raises Hereford grass fed beef cattle, broilers and turkeys for meat, free range laying hens and young pullets to sell, Finnsheep for wool and grass fed lamb, a large garden, and Australian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees pups.
