Our take

Ya Ya Farm & Orchard is a Longmont operation that combines orchard and pumpkin patch in one property, with apple cider donuts as the signature item worth planning a visit around. The Tuesday-through-Sunday operating pattern and November closing date make it a different animal than weekend-only patches — you have flexibility on weekdays, and you can still find pumpkins and fall activities well into November.

Apple cider donuts are the specialty

The research notes specifically call out apple cider donuts as worth visiting for. This suggests seasonal baking, not mass-produced. Peak donut season is typically early-to-mid fall when freshly pressed cider is available and the baking is at its height. By November, the operation may wind down. If the donuts are your primary draw, plan a mid-September-through-October visit to catch them while the baking is in full rotation.

Contact the farm to ask whether donuts are made fresh daily and whether you should call ahead to reserve some, especially if you are visiting on a weekday when production might be lower.

Orchard plus pumpkin patch is a natural pairing

Having both on one property means you can pick fresh fruit or buy it ready-picked while you are handling pumpkin selection. The combination suggests a farm-focused operation rather than a carnival festival — you are there for the produce and the seasonal experience, not rides or a crowded maze.

Tuesday through Sunday operation is genuinely useful

Most pumpkin patches cluster their busiest days on weekends. Ya Ya’s Tuesday-through-Sunday schedule means you have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as lower-crowd options. If your work or school schedule allows a weekday outing, this is the farm to consider.

Late-season access into November

When most Front Range patches close by early November (Halloween is the natural end point), Ya Ya Farm operates through November. If you are planning a late-season, post-Halloween outing or want to pick pumpkins for Thanksgiving decoration, this location has the extended window.

Front Range elevation and weather

Longmont is at about 5,000 feet. By late September, fall weather is real; by November, it is genuinely cold, especially in the evening. Bring a jacket for an evening visit or a late-season trip. Daytime November temperatures on the Front Range often stay in the 40s-50s, so layers are essential.

Missing piece: exact dates and hours

The website does not list specific 2026 dates or hours. Contact the farm through yayafarmandorchard.com to confirm:

  • Opening and closing dates for 2026
  • Days and hours of operation (the Tuesday-Sunday pattern, but hours may vary seasonally)
  • Admission fee, if any
  • Pumpkin pricing
  • Whether apple cider donuts are available during your intended visit date

Planning your visit

Best time to go

The research notes indicate Tuesday-Sunday operation through November, suggesting a late-season focus. The apple cider donuts are the specialty worth planning for, which means catching the farm while they are still making them fresh — likely September through late October at peak, potentially into early November. Exact 2026 dates and operating hours have not been published. Visit yayafarmandorchard.com or call to confirm the 2026 schedule before visiting.

How long to budget

Two to three hours. A smaller-scale operation, not a full-day festival, but the orchard and pumpkin patch together warrant a solid half-morning or afternoon visit.

Crowds

Open Tuesday-Sunday suggests steadier, less peak-concentrated crowds than weekend-only farms, though Saturdays and Sundays will still be busier.

Parking

Not documented. Expect on-site farm parking.

Strollers and accessibility

Not documented. Contact the farm through their website to discuss accessibility needs.

What to bring

  • Layers and a jacket, especially for late-season visits in November; Front Range evenings are cold by then
  • Closed-toe shoes for orchard and pumpkin-patch walking
  • Sunscreen and water if visiting on an early-season (September) afternoon
  • Cash if the farm operates on cash at the gate for donuts and fresh produce

How to spend less here

  • Exact pricing is not documented. Contact the farm through yayafarmandorchard.com or a phone lookup to ask about admission (if any) and pumpkin pricing.
  • Shopping for fresh orchard produce while you are there can replace a supermarket trip and often costs less at farm prices
  • The apple cider donuts are the specialty item — build your visit around them if the timing works

Who it suits

Good for

  • Visitors prioritizing apple cider donuts and orchard experience over a large carnival operation
  • Fall enthusiasts planning a weekday visit (Tuesday-Sunday means you have options beyond weekends)
  • Groups interested in pumpkins plus fresh orchard offerings in one stop
  • Anyone in the Longmont area wanting a late-season (through November) alternative when larger patches are closed

Skip it if

You want a full itinerary of carnival-style attractions; this is an orchard-and-pumpkin operation focused on farm products, not rides or elaborate mazes. Also skip it if you need published 2026 dates before committing — the website does not list them yet.
