Family Farm Day at Miller Farms 🌽🌽🌽
For nearly 19 years, Miller Farms in Platteville, Colorado, has welcomed our Shining Stars families for a special day of harvesting fresh produce straight from the fields! This beloved tradition brings families of all ages together to get their hands dirty, hop aboard the tractor, pick their own produce, and enjoy the beautiful Colorado farm country alongside fellow Shining Stars families.

Beyond the fun, it’s a wonderful reminder of what fresh, healthy food looks like, where it comes from, and the time, care, and hard work it takes to grow and harvest it.

A huge thank-you to Miller Farms for nearly two decades of welcoming our families and helping us create memories that last a lifetime!

✨ Swipe to the end to see the beautiful harvest one of our families brought home! 🥬🎃

Wondering what our Grand Family Adventure is all about? 🏔️💙

It’s a chance for families to unplug, reconnect, and create lasting memories together while building meaningful friendships with other families who truly understand. From mountain adventures to shared laughs, every moment is about finding joy, support, and community.

As we enjoy our final full day together, we’re soaking up every moment before camp comes to a close tomorrow.

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful supporters! This would not be possible without you!
