The Farm at Knapp Ranch in Colorado

We grow what the land gives us.

Luckily, it gives a lot! From veggies and greens to fruit and honey, the harsh conditions and high alpine environment can't stop nature's best.

Sharing the bounty.

We grow varieties of lettuces, microgreens and vegetables in fields, hoop houses, and off-site greenhouses, to produce nutritiously dense and flavorful foods year-round. We partner with local restaurants and chefs, supplying gourmet-quality ingredients to our community. Our produce availability varies throughout the year and can be purchased at Knapp Harvest.

Microgreens

We started growing microgreens in 2013 when The Farm at Knapp Ranch was established after our research and development uncovered the need. Microgreens, a specialty genre of greens, are vegetable greens that usually have a pair of small, partially developed leaves. Grown year-round in our hoop houses, they’re prized for their nutritional value and distinct flavor. Microgreens are used to enhance soups, salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish. Microgreen varieties change with the seasons.

Greens

Greens are leaf vegetables, the edible leaves and stems of plants. Used in salads for a nice crunch, and as garnishes on plates, greens can also be sautéed, stewed or steamed and are very healthy for you!

Veggies

Growing vegetables in the Rocky Mountains is challenging. The Farm at Knapp Ranch prides itself on growing hearty and colorful produce including summer squash, carrots, beets, and a variety of lettuces.

Mushrooms

At the same time microgreens became popular with the restaurants, the demand for mushrooms mushroomed too! We spent five years of research and development to get their environment just right before we started selling them to chefs. Now, grown at 9,000 feet, they are proving to be quite prolific, with many popular, thriving varieties.

Honey

Knapp Ranch harvests—and has bees for—honey.

We harvest honey from up and down the Eagle Valley including hyper-local and local wildflower honey.

Honey harvested from our bees is available in our line of Knapp’s Nectar honey-based products including lip balms, body creams, and other therapeutic products.
