Ranch Hands

The Roaring Fork Valley is the perfect place for an agritourism venture to take root and grow, and Missouri Heights’ Cedar Ridge Ranch is doing just that. The bucolic 67-acre property—home of Merrill’s Family Farm (profiled in our Summer 2016 issue)—is accepting reservations for their glammed-up yurts and safari tents. In addition to private guests, the farm is available for corporate retreats, weddings and family reunions, and continues to offer a diverse range of hands-on workshops and classes (think photography, gardening, yoga). The working farm and artist’s residence is now a place for the public to relax, create, explore and learn amongst the heritage-breed chickens and pigs, zebu cattle, horses and alpacas.
