Farm Adventure Turns City Trips Into Nature Lessons

A drive that used to be a quick commute now leads to a whole new world.

The Muddy Little Cowboy Ranch sits about thirty miles east of Hanover, Colorado.
Cell phones barely work there and you can’t order food online.

Life Off the Land

Linda Childers lives off the land.
She grows her own vegetables and buys meat from nearby ranches instead of a big store.

Six years ago, she opened her ranch as an educational spot.
The ranch invites schools, churches, nursing homes and families.
