Mesa Winds Farmstays
Our
36 acre farm is a few miles outside Hotchkiss, Colorado. At Mesa Winds
Farm we produce USDA Certified Organic peaches, apples, grapes, raspberries,
asparagus, vegetables and honey. Our certification is current and includes
all our crops.
Perched on the crest of a gentle ridge atop Rogers Mesa near Hotchkiss, Colorado, our orchards and vineyards slope south toward the valley of the North Fork of the Gunnison River. We locals call our community "The North Fork."
Panoramic vistas capture high mountains for which Colorado is renowned, pastures, and range land. Black Canyon National Park is just beyond the distant ridge. Situated as we are between mountains, deserts, and canyons we enjoy hot days and cool nights which are ideal for growing delicious fruit. The local community of farmers, of which we are part, has a deep commitment to raising food that is delicious, nutritious, and healthy for people and for the earth.
About our farmstays
In nurturing our relationship with the people who love our fruit and want to know our farm, to those good folks we offer a variety of on-farm events, activities, and weekend getaways. You'll sleep in our rehabbed "picker cabins" or camp in the orchards, lend a hand with the farm work, and dine on organic produce fresh from our garden and locally-raised meats.
