Colorado Agritourism in Durango

Taste Nature’s Bounty on a Durango Agritourism Ranch Tour or Farm Visit

Foodies have a reason to rejoice while on vacation in Durango, Colorado. Boasting an array of agritourism opportunities, food fanatics and organic farming enthusiasts are able to explore the food chain from farm to dinner plate. One of the more unique things to do in Durango, agricultural tourism is quickly making a name for itself as one of Durango’s more popular attractions as the area is home to a number of organic and natural food producers who regularly open their doors to those on vacation in Colorado.

“Agriculture is the heart of the Durango community”, states Julie Hudak, local food advocate. “The Durango area has over 25 farmers or ranchers and a large number of these growers sell their products at the Durango Farmers’ Market, to the 9-R Public School District, to area restaurants and to local grocery stores.” These producers offer a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, grass fed and organic beef, pork, lamb, chicken, eggs, churro wool, yarn, flowers, and artesian and goat cheeses.

Tour a working ranch, visit an organic farm, see how beer is made at a local brewery, or sample honey from one of the area’s honey producers. Include a stay at a Durango ranch and get an authentic taste of the pastoral lifestyle in Colorado.

Experience Durango agritourism and you’ll be able to see, smell, touch, and taste the bounty of the Animas River Valley, learn about the natural and organic food chain, support the locavore movement (eating food grown locally), and most of all, have fun!
