After 54 years in Colorado, this beloved family-owned and run restaurant has decided it's time for the next chapter and has decided to lock up shop permanently in the coming weeks.

As we approach the last few months of 2024, we're continuing to find ourselves saying goodbye to some of our favorite local places to eat way more often than we'd like. It almost feels like once a week, or more some weeks, that we're having to inform you about another fantastic local business closing down.

Last week we learned that the famous Kenny's Steakhouse in Greeley, Colorado, was closing after 30 years, which was a shocker for its many loyal supporters over the years. The "oh wow, I didn't see that coming" closures continue as we're losing another family-run restaurant after over 50 years in business.

Back in 1970, in the small town of LaSalle, Colorado, Vincent and Cecil Vigil opened the Farmer's Inn. They called it "a good old-fashioned family restaurant" filled with amazing homemade food made from old family recipes.

Located just off Highway 85, people from all over Colorado would stop in to dig into some of the very best family-made Mexican food that Colorado has to offer. Now, the family has decided it's time for the next stage in their lives and is moving on from the family business...

In a post from the family on Farmers Inn's Facebook, they said:

To our Family, Friends, and Surrounding Communities.

Vince & Cecil (our dads) started Farmers Inn 54 years ago. We have been so honored to have served you all throughout the years. We have watched your children grow and their children grow... It is time to start the next chapter in our lives.

 

The family also mentioned in their announcement, that they are selling the property, but whoever comes in next won't be the same as the family name, as well as their secret recipes are leaving with the family. The last day to enjoy Farmers Inn and its incredible family recipes is Saturday, November 2nd.

Thank you to the Vigil family for over 5 amazing decades of serving our local Colorado communities. If you're looking for a new local favorite, check these places out...

This Local Colorado Mexican Restaurant Is One Of The Best

After opening in 2008, Las Palmeras Mexican Restaurant has become one of the area's very best locally-owned places to get delicious, and authentic Mexican food. We found this place by accident years ago while driving hungry down Main Street in Longmont and have been regulars ever since.

The owner, the staff, the food, and the drinks are all top notch and that's what makes this one of Colorado's top choices for delicious Mexican food. It's also a perfect place to watch sports!

Here's a peek at what they were serving up last time we stopped in.
