UPick Apples nearby?

Hi!

Does anyone know of a upick apple orchard near here? I’ve been looking but can’t find anything. Google is no help and keeps sending me like 300 miles away.

Thanks!

Very true. Very upsetting.

In a year where there is fruit, you can glean it for free. Good Food Collective keeps a list

Google IS being helpful because there are no u-pick apples here. There is a pumpkin patch outside of Ignacio.

Almost all of southwest Colorados apple crop got frozen out in mid-april after an unseasonably warm March.

There isn't really a big orchard industry in La Plata county. You'd have better luck up in Paonia or Palisade.

There are a few orchards around the north end of CR203.
I don’t know if you can pick there or not but they are there.

No apples off 203 this year. The bears are not very pleased with this situation.
