Welcome to Quincy Farm

Welcome to Quincy Farm, a pristine rural oasis in the heart of Cherry Hills Village. Quincy Farm represents 24% of our public open space and parks and is located along the High Line Canal. This iconic 17.5-acre farm was graciously donated to the City of Cherry Hills Village by Catherine (“Cat”) Anderson, who placed the Farm under a conservation easement, permanently preserving its natural and rural heritage for current and future generations. Quincy Farm is a unique property nestled among century-old trees, pasture lands, and sweeping meadows, and boasts a collection of historic and significant structures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Farm includes a 1930s barn and the only 19th-century farmhouse in the area.

Quincy Farm is a place where visitors of all ages can enjoy educational programs, explore a unique, historical farm and its open space, connect with neighbors, and spark a lifelong curiosity about the larger issues of conservation, sustainability, and nature. It is a treasured community asset unlike anything else in the entire area, accounting for 24% of the open space and parks in Cherry Hills Village. The east side is open to the public, and we invite you to come to visit anytime, from dawn to dusk, or join us for a scheduled event!

“We hope this farm, in its entirety, remains open for all to enjoy as Cat intended. It is a beautiful and valuable space for the community to utilize for educational purposes and for the pure pleasure of ‘just being’ in a natural landscape.”
