Friends Farm
Contact & location
Where Friends Farm is located
Friends Farm is tucked into Colorado, on the outskirts of Louisville. It's one of a handful of working apple farms in this part of the state that still opens the rows to visitors each fall.
There isn't a formal street address on file, so Louisville, CO plus a call to the farm the day before is the safest bet.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Louisville itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
If you're looking for U-Pick near Louisville, CO, Friends Farm is one of the working orchards in the area. The page pulls hours, address, and any confirmed varieties or activities into one place so you don't have to chase them across five sites.
Apple Picking at Friends Farm
Friends Farm sells pre-picked apples from the farm stand rather than offering U-Pick.
On-Farm Activities
Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Friends Farm tracks the rest of Colorado. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. For photographers and casual pickers alike, the first three weekends of October tend to be the sweet spot, cooler mornings, changing leaves, and the widest variety selection.
Saturdays fill up fast once the first frost hits. Sunday afternoons and any weekday morning are noticeably calmer if you'd rather not queue at the register.
