Waggener Farm is an irrigated family farm located in Weld County just outside the town of Berthoud. With senior water rights and unobstructed views of Rocky Mountain National Park and Longs Peak, Waggener Farm frames the iconic gateway into Berthoud. This new easement adds 154 acres to the existing conservation easement on the farm, bringing the total to 307 acres. The easement was completely donated by the Waggener Family Trust. With the additional acreage comes the permanent protection of some of the most senior water rights in Colorado!
