The Longmont Farmers Market at the Boulder County Fairgrounds is a great place to start.

For a hands-on experience, Sunflower Farm is a popular spot, especially for families. Here, you can meet friendly farm animals and enjoy the quiet countryside. During Farmfest, a special event held on select days, you can feed animals, help with farm chores, or relax in a hammock. It’s a great way to learn about farm life and spend time outside.

Another place to visit is Ollin Farms, which focuses on sustainable farming. This family-owned farm grows organic produce and hosts farm dinners where you can enjoy meals made with fresh ingredients from the fields. They also offer educational events, so you can learn about sustainable farming and the importance of eating local foods.

At Ya Ya Farm & Orchard, you can pick your own apples, go on a hayride, and meet farm animals.

The orchard is especially beautiful in autumn, making it a perfect place to visit.

Finally, Jack’s Solar Garden offers a unique mix of farming and solar energy. It’s the largest agrivoltaics system in the U.S., where crops grow under and around solar panels.
