Happy Apple Farm

Cute low key apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Very small compared to some fancier pumpkin patches that I've been too. I saw big boxes full of pumpkins so I think they're bought and put out on the lawn vs being grown on the premise. Also kinda expensive! My pumpkin was big and beautiful but ended up being $12. That being said, admission is free so it's not too bad.

There are cute photo opportunities throughout the pumpkin patch area and it's pet friendly so I took some cute pictures of my kitten. The hay ride is fun and takes you to the gift shop which has lots of jams, syrups and a cafe. Sadly they were out of apple cider donuts and didn't have as much pumpkin treats as I would have wanted. Also there is no corn maze :(

Overall, it's a fun little orchard and pumpkin patch that's near Colorado Springs. Id recommend going early if you want to try to catch the apple cider donuts!

We've decided this will be the only pumpkin patch we come to from now on. The hospitality is out of this world. You can tell that they care so much about the people who come to their farm and not just about the business. It shines through in everything you do their. They have apple picking (which not so much right now, they had a late freeze unfortunately this year), they have a pumpkin patch, a free hay ride and an adorable store. It's so hard to leave once you get here. Oh! They also have some bbq food they sell as well that you can eat on site and round off your stay. Such an amazing place. Truly.

We came late in the year (late October) on top of an earlier freeze so of course the apples were gone but that's okay! There were plenty of normal to interesting pumpkins to choose from. There's photo stand ins everywhere so lots of opportunity for cute pictures. The owner, Tony, is probably one of the most jovial persons I've met. I can't remember the last time a business made me feel so welcome!

This is also an EXTREMELY pet friendly place which you really don't find too often for things like this. You can even let your fur friend on the hay ride. My dogs LOVED it. I can't wait to stop through earlier next year to enjoy all the extras like apples, pears, BBQ (yes they have a big BBQ pit out back by the picnic tables), etc.

There is a shop with homemade goodies like sauces, salsa, pickled items - all from the farm. A "deli" is attached although they were only serving desserts since it was so late in the year.

Admission and parking is free too. Highly recommend. I was informed August is perfect for all the extra fun especially for apple picking!

We took a trip to the Happy Apple Farm this week and our family and friends had so much fun. There are so many different types of apples to choose from, different types of pear trees, and a pumpkin patch. Throughout the property, there are props to take photos with as well! The staff is super friendly and encourage you to taste the apples before you fill up your bag to make sure you like each variety. My kids who range from teenager to elementary enjoyed it so much that we plan to come back before the season is over. The owner Tony is absolutely amazing as well and taught my kiddo about his favorite apple he was munching on. Don't forget to take your hay ride down to the pumpkin patch! All of the pickings were reasonably priced and if you are military, there's a discount for you! Take your family or go with friends and make this your new friends & family tradition!
Thank you, Happy Apple Farm for the hospitality, unique green pumpkin, and delicious fruit! We will be back again soon!

We've been coming to the farm every year since my daughter was 1 and she's now 7. You won't find a more friendly atmosphere and everyone makes you feel welcome!
We just visited again last weekend for black berry picking and they're delicious! We also picked pears and will be back soon for our annual pumpkins!
You're not charged for hay rides and fun like other farms. This is our favorite farm!

We have been to Happy Apple Farm for several years for picking our own fruit. Some years are better than others. We like them because they have berries, apples and pumpkins, but their Apple harvest has been poor the last few years we have visited. We were saddened they didn't have BBQ this year like they have had previous years.

I've never seen a big apple at the Happy Apple Farm. I don't know if my timing is horrible or what, but the apples are usually half-dollar size and covered it big bites. Other times the crops have frozen and there aren't any apples available for the season.

We have had some success picking blackberries. The trick is to visit on a Wednesday because the blackberries have matured over the days when the farm is closed to the public. On weekdays be prepared as you'll probably be fighting school kids for the ripest berries. And I will not hesitate to get scrappy with those whipper snappers.


Maybe the Happy Apple Farm isn't really about happy apples and instead it's about letting your dogs sniff around, riding the tractor from the parking area to the orchards, and spending time with your family. Maybe that's where the "happy" comes in, and that is good enough to make me visit every year or so.

This Apple farm is so awesome! They had a great season for apples this year. More and more trees are becoming available to pick this year. Our apples were so tasty! We also grabbed some pie and icecream and they hit the spot. We will be back again for the Fall festival and pumpkin picking. The farmer running the hay ride was phenomenal. He was so friendly and helpful in picking out the tastiest apples and pears! Thank you so much Happy Apple Farm!!!

This should be called "Sad Apple Farm." The apple trees were in very sad shape. What was left were small, worm laden, apples. The cider was not ready for their fall festival so we didn't get to buy some of that, which I was really looking forward to. The parking is a big mess, at least on the day we went which was their fall festival day. You have to park along the road or driveway, there is no parking lot and no one directing cars. The berries were also picked over, so we came home nearly empty handed. I passed on the small $18 apple pies. The demand is definitely much greater than the supply for this popular place.

It's a nice kind of throwback for a few hours. The fruit haul is pretty minimal, small apples that are few and far between. Good pumpkins though. Delicious cider and homemade jams and good food at the cafe.
