Halloween is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to get your pumpkin on. Fortunately, pumpkin patches are so plentiful this time of year that finding one is easy; it’s picking between them that's the hard part.
You could ask a local scarecrow for recommendations, or consider one of the following locations:
Munson Farms
Munson Farms is a smidge outside of Boulder on 75th and Valmont. It’s an apt choice for those looking to buy other produce while choosing the perfect pumpkin. The farm specializes in tomatoes, peaches, pumpkins, and sweet corn. Most of the produce is sold the same day it’s harvested.
Bee Hugger Honey Farm
Bee Hugger Honey Farm in Longmont allows you to pick your own pumpkins and sunflowers (the farm is also known for its honey and Christmas tree selection). Come feed animals, hop on a pony, or enjoy a hayride (available on weekends). Be sure to check out the haunted VW Bug Yard before you leave; it might just be as scary as the cost of car maintenance.
Cottonwood Farms
Cottonwood Farms is located at the intersection of 75th and Arapahoe in Lafayette. It’s on the small side, but comes with big charm. Visitors can enjoy a four-acre corn maze, a hay bale maze, wagon rides, and an abundance of roaming farm animals. The sheep are especially friendly and the bunnies are popular with little ones.
Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Patch
The Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Patch is located in Longmont and offers variety based on the day of your visit. During weekdays, the patch is laid back and mellow with a small selection of activities for children and adults. On weekends, it adopts a carnival-like atmosphere and features face painting, food trucks, a petting zoo, and kid-centric rides.
7th Generation Farm
The 7th Generation Farm is located near Louisville and packed with pumpkins for the picking. While you’re there, explore vintage farm trucks, get lost in the hay maze, climb a mountain of bales, and hit up the farm store for produce and other treats courtesy of Mother Nature.
Depending on what you’re looking for — a low-key outing or a jam-packed pumpkin adventure — you can find it nearby. Check out one of the above to get your Halloween started on the right (and the ripe!) foot.
