The Harvest House is a family-owned working farm just outside Evergreen that has been part of the community for generations. Rather than operating as a single-season pumpkin patch, the farm changes throughout the year, opening different fields, attractions, markets and family events depending on what is growing and the time of year. The original farmhouse near the entrance has been converted into the Harvest House Market, bakery and café, while the larger property includes crop fields, orchards, greenhouses, barns, animal areas, picnic lawns and outdoor play spaces.

January and February are the quietest months at The Harvest House. Most of the outdoor attractions close while the farm prepares for the coming growing season, although the Harvest House Market and café remain open on a limited schedule. February also brings a small Valentine's weekend event geared more toward adults, with flowers, desserts, wine tastings and farm-to-table dinners.

The farm properly reopens in March as spring begins. The greenhouses fill with seedlings, herbs and early garden plants, while the animal barn becomes one of the main attractions as lambs, chicks, ducklings and baby goats begin arriving. Families can visit the animals, watch feeding demonstrations, take short tractor rides and participate in spring scavenger hunts and children's planting activities. Kids can plant their own seeds in small containers to take home, while parents can browse the greenhouse, market and bakery or attend gardening workshops.

April becomes Easter season at The Harvest House. The farm hosts Easter egg hunts divided by age, including a separate toddler hunt designed for the youngest children. The Easter Bunny visits for photographs, spring wagon rides begin, and the property is decorated with oversized eggs and spring displays. The baby-animal barn remains one of the biggest attractions, alongside children's crafts, Easter basket activities and bunny encounters. Easter brunches are held on select weekends, while the market fills with spring flowers, baked goods and Easter orders.

May shifts away from Easter and into flowers, gardening and everyday farm life. Hanging baskets and spring flowers fill the greenhouse, fresh-cut flowers become available, and families can visit the animal barn, take tractor rides, feed goats and sheep, explore the outdoor play areas and participate in garden scavenger hunts. Pony rides are offered on select weekends. Mother's Day brings flower-picking events, special brunches and family photo areas throughout the farm.

June marks the beginning of pick-your-own season, with strawberries becoming the first major summer crop. Families can take wagons out to the fields and pick their own berries before returning to the main farm for the playground, animals, tractor rides, picnic areas and warm-weather activities. A small splash and sprinkler area opens for children on hot days. The bakery revolves heavily around strawberry season, offering fresh strawberry pie, shortcake, strawberry donuts, lemonade, jam and ice cream. The outdoor Harvest House Grill also opens regularly for lunch.

July settles into summer on the farm. Depending on the growing season, raspberries and blueberries become available for picking, while the playground, water activities, animal barn, tractor rides, lawn games and children's gardening activities remain open. Friday evenings become summer nights at The Harvest House, with the farm staying open later for live acoustic music, food trucks, picnic dinners and local vendors. Families bring blankets and spend the evening on the lawn while children continue playing until sunset.

August brings sunflower season. Large sections of the farm bloom into sunflower fields that visitors can walk through, photograph and pick from. Wagon rides travel through the property, the butterfly garden reaches its peak, and flower crafts and other activities are offered for children. On Friday and Saturday evenings, Sunset at the Sunflowers keeps the farm open through dusk with food, live music, seasonal drinks and picnic seating. Behind the scenes, the corn has grown tall and preparations for the farm's busiest season are already underway.

September marks the official beginning of Harvest Season and the start of the biggest stretch of the year for The Harvest House. Beginning around Labor Day weekend, the pumpkin fields open for picking alongside the apple orchard. Harvest wagons carry families out to the fields, where they can choose traditional orange pumpkins, white and green varieties, miniature pumpkins, giant pumpkins, gourds and decorative squash. The orchard offers pick-your-own apples, apple tastings and cider-pressing demonstrations.

The farm's two corn mazes also open in September. The Little Sprouts Maze is designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers, while the much larger Harvest Maze is meant for families and older children and receives a different design each year.

The center of the farm becomes Harvest Yard, a large activity area with giant slides, a hay mountain, corn pit, pedal tractors, wooden play structures, tire swings, duck races, pumpkin bowling, a jumping pillow, obstacle course, barrel-train rides and weekend pony rides. The animal barn remains open, allowing children to visit and feed goats, sheep and other farm animals.

September also brings back the foods The Harvest House is best known for. Fresh apple-cider donuts are made throughout the day alongside caramel apples, kettle corn, pies, baked goods and fresh cider. The Harvest House Grill serves lunch, while the Cider Barn offers regular cider and family-friendly drinks alongside hard cider, Colorado beer, wine and seasonal drinks for adults.

The Harvest House Market expands considerably during Harvest Season, filling with fresh produce, breads, pies, preserves, honey, apple butter, pumpkin butter, flowers, mums, wreaths, candles, fall decorations and locally made goods. September remains firmly harvest-themed rather than Halloween-themed, allowing families to experience the beginning of fall before the farm becomes spooky in October.

October is peak season. Everything available during September remains open, but Halloween begins taking over the farm. Weekends bring pumpkin carving and painting, costume days, trick-or-treat trails, scarecrow building, face painting, Halloween crafts and costume parades for younger children. Daytime activities remain intentionally family-friendly so small children can enjoy the farm without encountering anything genuinely frightening.

Friday and Saturday evenings in October introduce Harvest House After Dark. Once the daytime crowds leave, designated areas of the property reopen for older children and adults. The Harvest Maze becomes a flashlight maze, bonfires are lit, live music begins, and the Cider Barn remains open later. Separate areas of the property contain a haunted barn and nighttime wagon ride so the scarier attractions remain away from the daytime children's spaces.

November changes the farm almost immediately after Halloween. The spooky decorations disappear and The Harvest House returns to a traditional late-autumn atmosphere with corn stalks, pumpkins, gourds, hay, warm lights and Thanksgiving decorations. Children can participate in turkey scavenger hunts, Thanksgiving crafts, wagon rides and animal activities, while the playground and other weather-appropriate attractions remain available.

The market becomes particularly important during November. The bakery takes Thanksgiving orders for pies, breads and desserts, while the market carries local vegetables, preserves, cider, floral arrangements and table decorations. The farm also hosts Thanksgiving Harvest Dinners on select weekends, serving family-style meals at long communal tables inside the decorated barn.

December transforms The Harvest House again for Christmas. The harvest attractions close and a large Christmas tree lot opens near the main farm, stocked in partnership with a nearby tree farm. Wreaths, garland, greenery and holiday decorations fill the market, while the bakery produces holiday pies, cookies, breads and gift boxes.

For children, December brings Santa visits, photographs with Santa, Mrs. Claus storytimes, cookie decorating, ornament making, letters to Santa, holiday scavenger hunts and a small Christmas train. Special weekends include reindeer encounters. Evening wagon rides travel through decorated sections of the property once the Christmas lights come on.

Friday and Saturday evenings become Christmas Nights at The Harvest House. The farmhouse, barns and main pathways are covered in lights, fire pits are lit around the outdoor seating areas, and families can walk the property with hot chocolate, coffee or hot cider while Christmas music plays throughout the farm.

Once Christmas ends, most of The Harvest House closes again for January and February, beginning the cycle all over again.

For Evergreen families, The Harvest House is less a single attraction than a familiar part of the year. Children grow up visiting the baby animals in spring, picking berries in summer, walking through sunflowers in August, choosing pumpkins and apples every fall and returning to see Santa in December. Because the property changes so much from season to season, families can return several times throughout the year without having the same experience twice.
