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.

Telluride Mountain School Fall Farm Field Trip

Posted by The Buckhorn Crew 2:05 PM No comments
Last Fall, we welcomed almost 30 students from Telluride Mountain School for their first field trip of the school year. We always enjoy having the youth come to the farm and seeing where there food comes from. They asked some really great questions and sampled some melons at the end of the tour after helping us dig some potatoes. We thank the youth for the help and visiting our farm!
