Fall is in the air which means pumpkins, apples, canning, sweaters, farms, leaves and all the fun things. We are a spread-out area here in Southwest Colorado so here at Macaroni KID Durango I have rounded up the patches and orchards serving Pagosa Springs, Bayfield, Ignacio, Durango and Cortez, Colorado
This guide will keep updating as new pumpkin patches and orchard experiences are discovered.
