We had a great time on the hayride, collecting both blackberries and raspberries, seeing the chickens, lots of honey bees, and sheep, hanging out with a sweet farm dog, etc. It was well worth the drive and a very relaxing experience for all of us.

I only get to visit at most, once a year and I really need to find a way to change that. The owner,…read moreClaudia, is the most beautiful and kind person and treats everyone like family. You may even get to see the farm doggo if you're lucky! If you are like me and enjoy finding unique fruits and veggies that you don't see in any grocery store or even at your summer farmer's markets, this is the place for you! The drive is a quick one from Denver and once you are there on the farm, you kind of forget where you are! The store will take you back in time with it's simple set up with vintage coolers that store all of those beautiful veggies, and old tables stacked with baskets filled with even more veggies and fruits. There are heirloom options and the choices vary throughout the season as new things come in. On one of my visits this past summer, I picked up a huge bunch of home-grown Edamame that was far better than anything I have gotten anywhere else. It was actually quite fun to remove them from the stems to wash and cook up. I also was able to find beautiful Italian green beans - my absolute favorite and never-able-to-find option. The tomatoes are always a go-to and are so flavorful. I found out how the heirloom options are grown in the greenhouse and how that has provided the sweetest results and can confirm, they are very sweet and delicious. Along with the veggies and fruits, you will also find some locally made goodies sold in a brown paper bag that are a great treat to take for the ride home. Also, don't miss the dried pepper selection! There is also a cooler/freezer with meats and fresh eggs. When I was there, it was golden raspberry picking time and there were many families out for the tractor ride to the bushes to pick their own. Be sure to check out their website for hours - the opening is limited and you want to avoid making a trip unnecessarily and you can find out about special events, picking times for the fruits, cakes, and flowers and CSA share options. Claudia and Tim operate a farm that is certified organic and you can be sure their offerings are truly fresh, truly local, and truly organic as their motto says.

Whether the sun is blazing or the breeze is cool, we find our precious cargo chilling comfortably in a cooler, waiting for us. And oh, the eggs! Each carton is a treasure chest, unveiling a beautiful array of spotless, perfect eggs that are nothing short of a visual treat! We are absolutely smitten by them! They have become a staple in our kitchen, starring in numerous recipes that we whip up constantly! We usually get 2-4 cartons at a time, and the payment process is a breeze with Venmo. Right before the eggs are put outside for pickup, we make the payment. It's as simple as that! So here's to many more years of this wonderful egg-venture with English Rose Farm!

Our time in Boulder County was brief (just shy of two years), but we spent much of it at English Rose delighting in Rachel's collection of rescues (of note, a wild donkey and spirited mare), prattling goats, and Scottish Highland mamas whose calves enriched our visits and guaranteed the unexpected. Our drives to-and-from similarly offered wildlife sightings, particularly springtime's nursery of kits and cubs and the odd awkward moose calf! If you are a Boulderite or live out at Lefthand, don't miss English Rose.

I read an article about Capella Ranch's api-therapy huts and the hubs and I thought it would be…read moreawesome to try them. For my husband's birthday last weekend, I booked us each a 55 minute api-therapy appointment. We were in our individual huts and the experience was amazing!! Being beekeepers ourselves, we have a great love for bees and completely understand their importance and benefits that they bring to the world. The huts are very cozy and you're provided clean towels if you choose to rest your head on a pillow. While this seems the best way to lay in the hut, you really cannot hear the bees. They provide a face cradle so you can lay on your stomach and that worked so much better. I put my nose between the cedar planks so that I could inhale so much more of the hive air and I cannot tell you how much I absolutely love the smell of wood combined with the scent of honey and honeycomb! Don't worry, the bees cannot get to you as there is a wire mesh to keep them separate from you. Since there is a sliver of light coming through the hive side, you can watch the bees working. The huts themselves are bright and full of light. I fell asleep probably within 5 minutes after I adjusted myself and slept for about 40 minutes. To me, the collective of bees sounded like rushing water once you listen past the single, higher pitched buzzes. We both felt completely relaxed and refreshed afterward. I suggest everyone to give api-therapy a try!!

The apples were great and they are going to make a great strudel and apple pie next weekend. The food was BBQ. Great Tri-Tip. Pulled pork, make your own sandwiches. Potato salad. Mac and cheese. A hot BBQ sauce, sweet BBQ sauce, and an amazing mustard. The 2 donkeys and 2 horses were friendly. A great farm dog. The band was great and fit the theme of the dinner and farm. Walking around the apple orchards was a nice thing to do and enjoy the scenery. The apple season came early this year so we missed that it was a great fall thing to do. This is a highly recommended thing to do with the entire family.

It's a small, charming farm with limited apples, super friendly staff, and fun animal feedings with their donkeys and horse. We loved wandering through their little garden, picking apples they had honey crisp, green apples, and more. Plus you could even try some of their grapes right off the vine. We ended the morning in the shop with fresh cider and my first time trying cider donuts. The weather was warm and the lake behind the property made the views beautiful. Their spot is a peaceful little getaway. Would definitely recommend just be sure to make a reservation early on their website.

You can also get the food to go. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Boulder!

Small business like this will get screwed. Equipment, gas, etc that takes to grows stuff will go up. They don't understand economics and tariffs. Last time trump did this wood , metal went up. Homes prices and cars will go up by 5 to 10 k. People will cut back. We see that already. Last time trump did this. He had to help out farmers and ranchers and they did not get all their loses covered by him. Other countries will do the same to us. That is a trade war. Every thing it takes to grow on the far, will go up. Equipment, parts, seeds, labor etc. It will be past to the consumer. Countries don't pay tariffs consumers will it's past down the supply chain.

He offers several different sizes of jarred honey and on this particular day even had orange blossom flavored honey.

He even informed me that he is also a instructor on the Honey collection process and walks and instructs his students on the year-long process of collecting honey and keeping your bees. The little stop proved two good as I walked out with a pint of honey and some knowledge of the process of procuring the golden sap that Winnie the pooh himself would be envious of, LOL. So if your in the area , stop in and get you some of nature sweetness.
