Apple Picking, Pumpkin Patches Near Broomfield: Fall Guide 2018

BROOMFIELD, CO – As fall begins Sunday, and leaves turn from green to gold, red and brown, Coloradans start to think about the harvest season, corn mazes and fresh, juicy apples and pumpkins.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture wants you to visit the apple orchards, corn mazes and pumpkin patches near you to celebrate Colorado's farmers.

Some of these locations are simple, no-frills orchards that offer just apples and other produce to pick — and perhaps, some apple-cider doughnuts for sale — while others offer fall activities and plenty of them (we are talking corn mazes, wagon rides, petting zoos and much, much more).

This is Your Patch Guide to some of the best pumpkin farms and apple orchards in and near Broomfield and when those farms will be open.
