Adam's Apple Orchard & Country Store

Our take

The short version

Adam’s Apple Orchard & Country Store in Ault runs a genuinely helpful, farm-confirmed detail that a lot of similar operations don’t publish: an 11-12 week fall picking season, with u-pick access limited to select Saturdays and Sundays rather than every day the store is open. That’s the single most useful planning fact in this record, and it comes directly from the orchard’s own website.

U-pick isn’t a daily option here

General hours are Wednesday through Sunday, 10am to 6pm — but within that window, u-pick apple picking is only available on select weekends. A visitor showing up on, say, a Thursday afternoon expecting to pick apples could be disappointed even though the store itself is open. If u-pick is the goal, checking which specific Saturdays and Sundays are active — via adamsapplecolorado.com or by calling 970-760-0279 — is a necessary step before planning the trip, not an optional extra.

The “150 varieties” claim doesn’t hold up

Several tourism articles repeat a figure of 150 apple varieties at this orchard, but the orchard’s own site doesn’t list them, and one search result in the research behind this record appeared to conflate this Ault, Colorado orchard with an unrelated search result tied to Cañon City. Rather than repeat a number that couldn’t be corroborated, this record leaves the variety count out entirely. That’s a deliberate omission, not an oversight — treat any “150 varieties” claim you see elsewhere about this orchard with some skepticism.

Hayride and pumpkin picking, sourced secondhand

The record lists hayride and pumpkin-picking activities, both drawn from third-party visitor roundups rather than the orchard’s own site. That doesn’t mean they’re unlikely to be accurate — fall hayrides and pumpkin patches are common pairings with apple orchards on the Front Range — but it does mean they’re presented here as secondhand rather than farm-confirmed, unlike the hours and u-pick pattern.

A year-round country store

One detail confirmed directly from the farm’s own site: the country store itself operates Wednesday through Sunday year-round, not just during the fall apple season. That’s useful for anyone wanting to visit outside the apple-picking window — for whatever the store carries beyond seasonal produce — though the record doesn’t specify what that inventory includes.

No variety names, no pricing

Beyond the (unconfirmed and therefore omitted) “150 varieties” figure, no specific apple varieties are named anywhere in the sources behind this record, and no pricing information — for u-pick, admission, or the country store — was found either. Both are worth asking about directly when you call to check the weekend u-pick schedule.

Location

Adam’s Apple Orchard & Country Store is at 42135 Weld County Road 43 in Ault, Weld County, part of Colorado’s Front Range — near other Front Range orchards in this research batch, including Worrell Family Farm & Orchard in nearby Eaton and Masonville Orchards in Fort Collins.

Bottom line

Adam’s Apple Orchard & Country Store gives a real, farm-confirmed planning detail — an 11-12 week season with weekend-only u-pick — that’s more specific than most similar records in this batch. Just don’t expect 150 apple varieties or a daily picking window; check the specific weekend schedule before you go.
