James RanchRaw milk & eggs · Durango4.7 (1365 reviews)James 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.Pope Farms Produce & Garden CenterFarm shop · Greeley4.7 (275 reviews)Pope Farms Produce & Garden Center is a family run mom and pop shop in Greeley, Colorado selling homegrown produce and plants at competitive prices.

The shareholder group is kept deliberately small so everyone gets plenty. The farm market is open through the week and closed on Saturdays, aged artisan cheeses and apothecary items ship across the lower 48 states, and onsite herbal consultations are offered alongside telehealth sessions.
