L-J Ranch

L-J Ranch is a 100-acre working cattle ranch, hop farm and wedding venue nestled in the heart of the Pine River Valley, in Bayfield Colorado- “Where Stars Shine Bright” 

As a premier Colorado Wedding Venue, LePlatt’s Pond has hosted hundreds of weddings and special events over the years.  Our guests rave about the tall cottonwoods, rambling streams, and crystal clear lake that sits alongside the Pine River.

We specialize in offering USDA Grass-Fed ground beef raised on high altitude hay, which can be enjoyed at Mill Street Bistro.

In association with Steamworks Brewing Company, Carver Brewing Company and Bottom Shelf Brewery- our love for locally grown craft beer can be found here on the ranch at Pine River Hops.  Our annual Harvest Dinner brings guests from all over the country to dine amongst the Hop bines, and sample craft beer while enjoying a beautifully catered meal and live entertainment.
