Explore Morning Fresh Dairy and Howling Cow Café in Bellvue for a Fun Family Adventure Near Fort Collins

If you are taking a scenic drive or bike ride through the beautiful Pleasant Valley just northwest of Fort Collins, you absolutely have to stop at Morning Fresh Dairy in Bellvue! Operating on the exact same land since 1894, this fifth-generation family farm is a true Northern Colorado institution. They offer a phenomenally fun and educational Dairy Tour where you can get up close and personal with their happy cows, see their sustainable farming practices in action, and learn exactly how they get their all-natural milk from “mooo to you” in just 24 hours.

After your tour, head straight over to the onsite Howling Cow Café. This bustling little hub is a fantastic blend of a deli counter, coffee house, ice cream shop, and local mercantile! Grab a custom-built bagel sandwich for lunch, treat the kids to a legendary chocolate milk shot, or cool off with a sweet treat on their dog-friendly outdoor patio. Before you leave, be sure to browse the charming dairy and gifts shop, which is perfectly stocked with local artwork, specialty Colorado food items, Beeyond the Hive honey, and, of course, plenty of fresh Noosa Yoghurt and Morning Fresh milk to take back to the cabin. It is the absolute perfect, wholesome family excursion right at the gateway to the canyon!
