In 2013, Desiderata Ranch was almost completely destroyed by the catastrophic flooding that affected a large part of Colorado.

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.

🎄What a delicious surprise! It's finally that time of year!🎄

Our Holiday Jam is something we look forward to making all year long. The combination of strawberries, cranberries, orange, vanilla, and spices truly tastes like the holidays in a jar.

It makes a great gift, a delicious addition to roasted meats, a fantastic filler for sweets, or simply a delectable toast topper. We only make it for the holidays, so grab a few jars today while you can!

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.
