The 700 acre Peep O'Day Park, located near Loveland in Larimer County, was first homesteaded in 1878. Brothers William and Alfred Wild both farmed the land in the early years. Alfred Wild was one of Colorado's pioneers in hops production and was also involved in fruit crops and the production of apple vinegar and cider. The farm is now owned by Alfred Wild's son, Alfred, Jr. and is devoted to wheat production. The Wild family is being given the, historic structures award for preserving several historic buildings, including the original farmhouse dating to about 1880.
