Located at the base of Buckhorn Mountain at 6700' elevation, Buckhorn Gardens is a small, organic vegetable farm 13mi. south of Montrose, Colorado. Our farm is an active part of a 12,000 acre ranch; however, we only manage 3 acres with intensive vegetable gardening.

Montrose Farmers Market

Posted by The Buckhorn Crew 5:46 PM No comments
Farmers markets are starting on the Western Slope! We had a successful time at our first farmers market of the season in Montrose. We will be there every Saturday until October, so be sure to visit us:) The Gardens are getting filled with delicious veggies this month. Today we planted our third round of tomatoes in the high tunnels as well as our first row of squash. Check out some pics!
Broccoli is coming on hard, just in time for the markets. We will be bringing more broccoli this weekend.
Kale, Kohlrabi, and Cabbage transplants are finally outside and in the ground.
Cover crop seeding in the back, mulched in hay. In the front, we have lettuce, spinach, and arugula seeds ready to germinate.
"A row full of tomatoes helps the medicine go down!"
First round of cilantro.
