The Rocky Ford, Colorado Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to...

"The Sweet Melon Capital of the World"

Rocky Ford is a quiet agricultural community, resting on the Hwy 50 corridor in Southeastern Colorado, that offers a peaceful respite to modern day life. An historical community with a warm blend of a times-gone-by atmosphere and modern conveniences with down home friendly people and a great climate too! The community offers a rich array of activities from gardening, music, theater and civic organizations to bird watching, boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, rodeos, and sports. Rocky Ford is proud of its agricultural roots and, as the melon capital of the world, proudly sends cantaloupe and watermelons all over the country
