Pinion Farm Homestead located in the town of Nucla, CO is a 40-acre new farm/orchard operation that currently includes pigs, rotational grazing cows and sometimes horses, organically-grown vegetable garden, hay pastures and practices regenerative agriculture within the heirloom apple orchards onsite. Originally home to the Uncompahgre Ute Native Americans, Nucla was founded by a socialist group from Denver, the Colorado Cooperative Company. Some of the members built (some sent money) a 17-mile ditch to carry water from the San Miguel River to the mesa top. Pinion Farm Homestead was homesteaded by the Lundahl family and were founding members of the cooperative. The original farm included an old farmhouse, a chicken coop, and a winter storage building that are all still standing. The Lundahl family raised pigs, chickens and cows, cultivated apple, peach, mulberry, apricot and plum trees, and grew hay, corn, oats, barley and vegetables. John Lundahl owned the creamery for a short time as well.

Apple Orchard Farm Stay

Had the place to ourselves. Quiet even though on Main Street. Deer in the field and pigs in the pen. Just the spot we needed after a long day of driving. Cabins looked cute, but we had our own camper van, so can’t speak to the cabins.

The Pioneers Cabin

Good morning, deer?

Cabins are really cute. Woke up to a deer in front of the cabin this morning. Not what we usually see.

Apple Orchard Farm Stay

I loved camping on this simple, beautiful land. Conveniently off the path I traveled from Ridgway to Moab. I felt so safe and loved watching deer at sunset. Cabins are very well done and so so homey. Family is very kind and responsive. Would love to stay again next time I pass through.

The Prospector Cabin

Wonderful stay on budding homestead

What a cool setup. Was a little nervous about staying in mid-November with lows in the mid 20’s, but with a few extra blankets and a good sleeping bag it was actually quite a comfortable sleeping arrangement. Some sort of heating element would be nice in the space though. These guys have a really special property; the morning views were spectacular. Both Melanie and Bode were lovely hosts; would love to get back up during apple picking season to help out in the orchard! Would highly recommend, thank you both for the hospitality.
