Fans of persimmon pulp - watch this site for another opportunity to purchase frozen pulp in the fall 0f 2021!

We held a drive-through sale in June. There was a good turnout and it was a lovely day, but we still have a good stock of frozen pulp we'd rather not waste.

As soon as plans are finalized, we will announce a date and time here for another sale of persimmon pulp. Hope to see you there at Historic Stafford Farm!

Thank you for your support.

Stay well and stay safe.

The Annual Colfax Persimmon Festival was held from 2008 through 2019. It was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions in 2020.

On a historic farm with structures dating back into the early 1800s or before, the Annual Colfax Persimmon Festival celebrated the native American persimmon and historic farming with a wide range of exhibits, demonstrations, arts and crafts, live music, as well as persimmon-related items for purchase.

We deeply regret announcing that Gene Stafford, founder of the Festival first held in 2008, passed away on Tuesday, January 12, 2021.

Family, friends and Festival volunteers gathered on Saturday, May 15th to remember and say farewell to Gene, who lived his 78 years as a professional photographer, teacher and mentor, historic preservationist, and persimmon enthusiast from his earliest days growing up at Stafford Farm.
