Northeast Colorado Farm & Ag Fests

Just an hour north of Denver, the scenery escapes the city and stretches into a lush valley region dotted with farms, ranches, and historic towns, along with wide open prairie country, beautiful gardens, rivers and wetlands, and amazing panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. Welcome to Greeley and Weld County in northeast Colorado. The setting for the novel “Centennial” by James A. Michener. An agricultural oasis, and a recreational paradise. A place where family and quality of life are high priority, as is maintaining historical integrity.

Early in the region’s development, an irrigation canal became priority construction, turning the high desert into an agricultural oasis. Throughout its history, this area has been known for growing sugar beets, corn, and onion, among many other crops – all made possible on irrigated farmland. You can learn more about this region’s rich agricultural history at local museums and historic sites, and taste the local bounty at local restaurants, farmers markets, and annual events. Greeley, the county seat, is home to breweries and distilleries, and its vibrant downtown is the first Go-Cup District in the state.
