Hoot ‘n’ Howl Farm

What a great way to spend our morning!
My boyfriend and I were heading up to Boulder for the day to get out of the city and decided to check this place out. As we pulled up, we slightly panicked because we were suddenly in someones driveway. We saw the tent in front of the garage, however, and headed that way as it appeared to have lots of signs. It’s all self serve, so read the instructions carefully. Walk through the old gate and you will have to walk around their backyard to the gate leading to the field. Pretty much there are certain rows that are open to pick (you will see the signs on the end of the rows) and then a large pod of rows to the west that was free to pick, make sure you confirm this with the signs. We spent about an hour and half picking white and red raspberries and ended up with about 4lbs when we were done. Bring water, sunscreen, and wear jeans because you find yourself getting up in the berry bushes at times. I also suggest coming before noon because by the time we left (around 1230 on a Tuesday) they were already picked out for the day.
Check-​out is at the first tent you see and it’s all on the honor system. They also have other produce items for sale (fresh eggs, the best heirloom tomatoes I have ever had, peaches, garlic, etc.) along with water and other drinks for those who forgot. Drop your money in the mail slot and that’s it! I was extremely skeptical at first when we pulled up but it was such a great time. The farm is well maintained, the owners were incredibly nice, and their raspberries are delicious. Thanks for a great experience!

What a heck of a find this place was. Located about 45 minutes away from downtown Denver, this farm with a honor-​system vegetable stand is an easy drive. We picked raspberries for about an hour in the lush garden area, stared at the chickens for a few and then proceeded to check ourselves out. The stand has many different things available: grass-​fed local beef by the pound, farm fresh eggs, apples, raspberries, squash, eggplant, pears, etc. We can’t wait to come back and to bring some friends!
