We were out and about looking for a place to fish, but the murky waters after the downpours made…read morethe rivers far too muddy. We happened upon this farm stand on our drive back into town and, since it had just opened for the day, pulled over to check it out. They list the produce available as well as the prices on the door (either so you don't need to go in if you don't see what you'd like, or for times when they're closed and you happen by), and walking in you're greeted with a few standing refrigerators. They host fresh Easter-egg colored eggs from Jodar farms, fresh cut flowers, beefy heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, kale and zucchini, just to name a few from their expansive collection. They also offer empty cans that you can fill with water and go cut your own flowers or herbs from the garden on the property, and small boxes for pick-your-own cherry tomatoes. We grabbed a few veggies and paid at the honor system self-checkout iPad after waiting in a short line of two people, and then checked out the garden. We're not members, but will definitely be back to support and get some more of the deliciously sweet cucumbers and ridiculously fresh zucchini and kale!

The food is amazing. The valley is beautiful and has a lovely "presence." I highly recommend Sunrise to anyone for events, for growth-focused programs, and peace and relaxation, and hard work (especially if you live there, lol).

Food was really good. Everything was as fresh and well prepared. Rooms are dated but clean.read more

While I appreciate the idea of community-supported agriculture, I haven't joined a CSA for fear…read morethat it would be an overwhelming amount of produce for my household of one. However, when Grant Family Farms offered a Living Social deal I thought it would be a good opportunity to try it out. The deal consisted of one week's medium veggie share, a single fruit share, and a half-dozen eggs. I scheduled my pickup for the Thursday before Labor Day weekend, my thinking being that the long weekend would allow me a little more time to figure out what to do with the veggies if it did turn out to be overwhelming ... Here's what was included in the veggie share: 6 ears corn 2 zucchini 2 cucumbers 2 yellow squash 1 eggplant 3 peppers 1 bunch carrots 1 bunch beets 2 bunches spinach 1 bunch rainbow chard 1 head red leaf lettuce 1 bunch Italian parsley 1 bunch green onions 1 bag fingerling potatoes 1 bag tomatoes, mostly yellow slicers with 1 red slicer and 1 purple beefsteak For the most part, the produce was of high quality, though I did have one ear of corn that was slightly worm-eaten (hazard of organic, I suppose) and the tomatoes in the bottom of my bag (including the purple beefsteak) were smushed and a little moldy (so very sad). This was definitely a lot of vegetables for one person -- I ended-up doing a lot of chopping and blanching so I could freeze some of it -- but in reality if I were to subscribe I would choose the single share. The fruit share included a mix of peaches and apples. The peaches look to be of 2 varieties, since a few are significantly larger than the others. Haven't tasted them yet, since they could use a couple of days on the counter for ripening. The apples are a small, round variety that I don't recognize. The GFF website says that they are "Akame" apples, but when I google it all I get are a bunch of manga links ... whatever they are, they have a fairly assertive flavor that is not too sweet nor too tart, just balanced in-between, and a pleasingly firm texture (though for eating out of hand I prefer a crisper texture) The half-dozen eggs included 6 eggs, as advertised :-) They ranged in size, mostly equivalent to grocery store extra large eggs with a couple of large and I did get one that would probably rate as a jumbo egg. I'm still on the fence as to whether subscribing to a CSA is for me ... my initial response was "wow, look at all this great produce" but it quickly turned to "yikes, what am I going to do with all of this produce." I think I have things figured out so that I won't waste what I got, but I'm not sure that I could keep it up week after week.

As such, I am apt to spend a few minutes after I've finished my shopping sitting on the lawn (or rather a bench with all the wet weather we have been having lately), sipping my coffee and enjoying a little people/puppy watching to start off my Saturday rather than just rushing on to my next errand. This market is held on Saturdays from about mid-May through sometime in October and generally has a nice selection of vendors. My go-to spots include Native Hill Farms (I just joined their market CSA -- such a great program), Noosa Yogurt (normally $2+ for an 8 oz. tub in the grocery stores, but get 3/$5 at the farmers' market), Hazel Dell mushrooms, and of course the various fruit vendors come summer and fall. Discoveries for me early this year include Mama's Tofu (yes, tofu made in the Fort!), Lovif Patisserie (mmmm macarons and other sweet indulgences) and the Coffee Registry (get a cup brewed just for you). There is an educational component to this market, too, as it is run by master gardeners from the Larimer County extension ... stop by their booth to pick up information on canning or composting or what have you. I have been meaning to take canning classes from them for years ... maybe this year will be the one.
