Desiderata Ranch

Small family farm and event venue at the crossroads of Larimer and Boulder Counties in Berthoud, CO Desiderata Ranch was founded in 1981.

Over the years it has been the birthplace of a family, seen children and grandchildren grow up and been a place of refuge for those in need. Wildlife abounds here year round. In 2013, Desiderata Ranch was almost completely destroyed by the catastrophic flooding that affected a large part of Colorado. We were very fortunate to have not lost our home and after several years of clean up and rebuildin

g, Desiderata Ranch is once again available as an outdoor event venue and produce farm. A wide variety of produce is grown in two high tunnels, and in the summer, fields as well. Desiderata Ranch sells directly from the farm, to caterers, restaurants and at local Farmers Markets. The Desiderata Ranch "Membership" program is a step up from a typical CSA with discounts offered on all products sold.

We love the work that Colorado Friendship is doing!

The IncrEdibles Program sends weekend food packs home with 650 kids each week during the school year to make sure those experiencing food insecurity come in ready to learn on Monday morning. Unfortunately, grocery prices are impacting everyone, including programs like this.

Right now, the IncrEdibles Program is looking to find 100 new sustaining donors. $10 a month can make a huge difference in the support that they're able to offer.

Our Story

Desiderata Ranch was founded in 1981. Over the years it has been the birthplace of a family, seen children and grandchildren grow up and been a place of refuge for those in need. We are visited by birds, rabbits, deer, elk and the occasional bear. In 2013, Desiderata Ranch was almost completely destroyed by the catastrophic flooding that affected a large part of Colorado. We were very fortunate to have not lost our home but the wonderful events we hosted here on the park grounds are on hold until we can finish the cleanup. In the meantime, we are making this an opportunity for new beginnings. We are redesigning the landscaping and seeing things with new eyes Two large High Tunnels have been erected and planted and the new barn is currently under construction. We hope to be able to offer a place for events again soon.
