Orchard Valley Farms & Market is not only the growing place of just-picked sustainably grown local produce, it’s also a great place to get a taste of the country. Spend the day on a working farm and orchard, nestled in a beautiful river valley surrounded by the West Elks Mountains. You can get your hands dirty picking your own, or just soak up the atmosphere while you stroll the gardens.
