About the Company

Wil Miller Farms

Ferriday, LA

In the late 1950’s my parents started growing a few acres of vegetables and put a small roadside stand in the front yard. They sold fresh farm produce on the honor system. People would stop by on their Sunday drives, get their vegetables, and leave the money in the tin can.

In 1992, Chris and I took over the responsibilities of Miller Farms. We continued to sell produce at our roadside market and attend Farmers Markets along the Front Range. After the extremely wet year in 1995 in which we lost a great deal crops to the inclement weather, we decided it was time to adapt our farm to an up and coming area of agriculture called agtourism or agricultural tourism. Simply put, is farm tourism. In 1996, we started our first “Potato Dig.” It was a festival with hay rides, a petting zoo, and of course, a potato harvest.
