A century-old heirloom apple orchard in Boulder County that treats apples as its headline crop — but the orchard's own site confirms 2026 u-pick reservations are already sold out, so plan on the farm stand instead.
Farm-stand admission reported around $3/person with per-bag apple pricing (~$12/bag) from a third-party visitor guide; not confirmed on the orchard's own site
YA YA Farm & Orchard is a century-old heirloom apple orchard in Longmont, and it stands out in this research batch for a simple reason: it markets apples, not pumpkins or corn, as its headline crop. That’s genuinely uncommon among Front Range fall-agritourism operations, most of which lead with pumpkin patches or corn mazes and treat apples as a side offering.
The most important, and most current, fact in this record comes directly from the orchard’s own website: u-pick apple and pear reservations are “SOLD OUT For 2026.” That’s not a stale directory listing or a guess — it’s the farm speaking for itself. If picking apples off the tree yourself was the plan, that plan needs to change for this season; the farm stand remains available as an alternative, but the guided u-pick reservation slots are gone.
A third-party apple-picking guide names Cox’s Orange Pippin and Arkansas Black as varieties grown here — both genuine heirloom apples, consistent with the farm’s century-old, heirloom-focused identity. That said, this wasn’t confirmed on the orchard’s own site, so it’s presented here as secondhand information rather than a farm-verified fact. If exact varieties matter to your visit, it’s worth asking the farm stand directly which apples are currently available.
Even without u-pick, the farm stand itself has confirmed, fairly detailed hours straight from the orchard’s own site: Tuesday through Friday around 9am-3pm (Thursday stretching to 6pm), and weekends from 7:30am-5pm in September and October (9am-4pm in August), closed Mondays. The farm stand reportedly sells cider donuts and pies, per the research notes — a reasonable consolation for anyone who missed the u-pick window.
The record lists farm animals, live music (described in research notes as tied to an AppleFest event), and pumpkin or gourd painting as activities — all confirmed from the orchard’s own site. That gives even a farm-stand-only visit some substance for families, beyond simply buying a bag of apples.
A third-party guide reports roughly $3 per person for farm-stand admission and around $12 per bag of apples, but neither figure was confirmed on the orchard’s own website, so treat these as estimates rather than confirmed prices. If exact costs matter for budgeting, calling ahead is the more reliable path, though no phone number is on file for this record.
The research notes point out a genuinely useful, checkable detail: u-pick reservations reportedly open by email each January for the following year. If a self-serve picking experience at YA YA Farm is the goal, marking your calendar for January rather than waiting until fall is the practical takeaway from this record.
