One half of the Longmont 100 team hails from Upstate New
York, where cider donuts are a fall tradition. Out here in Colorado, these
delicious autumnal treats are harder to come by. But YA YA Farm & Orchard
has got ‘em – and they meet our high standards. Of course, there’s plenty more
to do out at YA YA, located on an 1896 farm – it’s a wonderful spot for a fall
family outing. Apples, obviously, are in abundance: the orchard holds 810 trees
with over 120 different varieties, and you can fill a bag with five to seven
pounds of apples for the bargain price of $12. If you want to pick your own, call ahead – U-Pick is by reservation only. But if you are willing to let someone else do the work, pre-picked apples are for sale at the YA YA store.
There are also friendly
Percheron draft horses who would love to be fed some of those apples, if you’re
so inclined, as well as mules, chickens, and turkeys. Throw in a gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountain Front Range, and
you’ve got yourself a perfect outdoor adventure.
