We grow food the way your grandparents used to — slowly, carefully, and with the kind of attention that makes every bite taste like summer.
Every tomato, herb, and sunflower in our stand was rooted in this ground — no shortcuts, no long drives, just honest farming.
That the food on your table should taste like it came from somewhere real — not a warehouse, not a distribution center, but from soil that was worked by hands who care.
Sunrise Farm Colorado has been rooted in Watkins since the beginning. What started as a small plot beside Highway 72 has grown into a thriving farm stand that feeds families across the corridor every single season. We don't ship our produce in from somewhere else — everything you see was grown right here, under the same sky you're standing under.
Our approach is old-fashioned by design. We rotate our crops, compost our leftovers, and let the seasons set the pace. That means some weeks the tomatoes are overflowing and other weeks you'll find us tending young seedlings with more patience than speed. Either way, what reaches your plate is exactly what the earth is ready to give — nothing more, nothing less.
Our fields follow the natural rhythm of the Colorado high plains. What's in season is always the best — and we make sure you know exactly what's ready.
Tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, corn, and more — all harvested at peak ripeness and brought to the stand the same day.
Basil, rosemary, thyme, mint, cilantro, and sage — cut this morning, in your kitchen by tonight. No wax, no plastic wrap, just living herbs.
Sunflowers, zinnias, dahlias, and mixed wildflower arrangements — grown for the vase, not the shipping container.
Local honey, preserves, dried herb bundles, and seasonal specials from neighboring Colorado producers we trust and know personally.
— Sunrise Farm Colorado"We don't grow food to move it fast. We grow it to matter."
Everything is cultivated on our own land in Watkins — no middlemen, no cross-country freight. What you see is what grew three feet from where you're standing.
We follow the calendar, not the catalog. Our planting and harvesting schedule is set by the land, which means every item is at its absolute best.
We know our regulars by name. Kids get to pick their first tomato. This isn't a transaction — it's a relationship we take seriously.
No hidden chemicals, no vague sourcing. If something is in season, we'll tell you. If it's not ready yet, we'll tell you that too.
We're just off Highway 72 in Watkins — easy to find, impossible to forget. Pull in, browse the stand, and grab something fresh. No appointment needed.
Whether you're curious about what's currently in season, want to place a seasonal order, or just want to know when the tomatoes are hitting their stride — drop us a line. We read every message and reply personally.
