In Colorado’s North Fork Valley you can play farmer while glamping during harvest season (via thknwco)
So I made plans to glamp in mid-August on a farm in Hotchkiss just as the Western Slope’s harvest season was getting underway with ripening Colorado peaches.
I got my first taste — literally — of what the North Fork Valley offers when I was ordering from the Southern Belle food truck. “The tomatoes are from Abundant Life Organic Farm,” I was told without asking the provenance of the biscuit sandwich ingredients. I was here in part to go to the source, and pick my own fruits and vegetables.I headed out for the 10-mile drive southwest to Hotchkiss where I found my glamping tent just off a dirt road on the farm property.
As we plucked various ground tomatoes , heirloom tomatoes , and basic red tomatoes for making a marinara sauce later, we talked about my urban backyard pumpkin vines, the resident garden spider , and peach salsa possibilities. I could have happily stayed for the live music scheduled at Big B’s hours later, but I had goats to meet. Western Culture Farmstead & Creamery is a small goat farm in Paonia where they make exquisite goat cheeses along with scented lotions and soaps from the goat’s milk. You can schedule a tour, or take a chance as I did, and then be invited to walk among the goats.
