Nathan Saffer purchased a relinquished homestead in 1913 on a farm 18 miles North of Arriba, Colorado.  In 1915, S.T. Magill, the father of Nathan’s wife Olive, purchased the land that would become Saffer Farms.  The original farm was approximately 300 acres and was used to raise cattle, hogs and horses as well as harvest feed crops, wheat, and corn.  Today, the farm is 1976 acres and raises cattle and grows wheat, corn and feed crops.
