Get into the fall spirit — and return to Northern Colorado’s agricultural roots — by picking your own pumpkin this season.
At least half a dozen Northern Colorado pumpkin patches — and one orchard — are gearing up for fall. Here’s when you can take your pick of their autumn offerings:
Adam’s Apple Orchard & Country Store
Where: 42135 Weld County Road 43, Ault
Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday
Apple season is in full swing at Adam’s Apple Country Store, with fresh apples available for purchase through the end of October. Due to a poor growing season, public apple picking at Adam’s Apple Orchard will be sparse and likely start sometime in September, according to the orchard. Pumpkins will go on sale in its country store toward the end of September. For updates on apple picking at Adam’s Apple Orchard, check its website , Facebook and Instagram.
The Bartels Pumpkin Patch
