Rural Surroundings and Produce

Sun Ranch is a boutique hotel on 55 acres of regenerated farmland and is also a farm in the Coopers Shoot area. Coopers Shoot Tomatoes grows a selection of gourmet vine-ripened tomatoes and harvests them fully ripe. Fresh vegetables are sold at local growers’ markets. In 2002, the Armstrong family switched to selling their fresh produce exclusively at local growers’ markets. The property in Coopers Shoot has been owned by the Armstrong family since 1882. If visiting a market is part of your travel plans, check current market participation, as it may change.
