An interesting dynamic is taking place in Colorado real estate, and that is the buyer searching for a smaller agricultural parcel so that a family can go back to the basics–growing their own food. While other brokers in Colorado tell me that their phones are not ringing, my experience is the opposite. My phone is ringing off the hook! Buyers are contacting me from all over Colorado, searching for a small farm parcel where they can raise food to feed their own families and possibly produce additional returns for the market. In other words, “Can we raise enough food here in our garden to feed ourselves, and what about bringing some of our produce to the local farmer’s market?” The answer is yes and yes.

The North Fork Valley in Colorado is blessed with a beautiful mild climate, and it’s known as the “banana belt” in Western Colorado. There are orchards growing cherries, pears, peaches, plums, and apples; vineyards growing wine grapes; and small acreages where a stockman can raise goats, lambs, and beef cattle. Heck, I’m meeting a woman in an hour to go show her property where she can keep her herd of nine yaks–but we have to be back by 4:00, so she doesn’t miss her milking time for her cow yaks. She says my listing in Roubideau Canyon might be perfect for yaks, so we’re headed down to Delta to show her the canyon country there. Apparently yaks like to scramble around in rocks, so hey, it could be just right for her. Check it out.
