Celebrate the arrival of Fall and the feast of Mabon with us at The Bartels Pumpkin Patch (more information below) (3424 E Douglas Road)
Mabon is a time when the community gathers together to share food and make merry. We have so much to be thankful for, let’s stop and appreciate it. There will be pumpkins, hayrides, a corn maze, and delicious food!
We will arrive at the pumpkin patch at 3pm. We will have a potluck dinner around 4pm, with a Mabon ritual at 5:00
Suggestions for the potluck include foods that don’t require cooking, heating, or refrigeration. Such as sandwiches, cold cuts, cheeses, crackers, breads, fruits, veggies. There will be food trucks on site and you can even pick the veggies you want to share when you arrive! AND if you are unable to bring anything we want you to come anyway as this is a time of community and gathering and there will be plenty.
It is free to go to the farm but the hayrides and other things do cost to support the farm. Any food or supplies you get from Covenant are free of charge!

HOW TO GET THERE:
Bartels is located off Douglas Road which is north of the Budweiser Brewery in terms of distance from Fort Collins. From the CSU area, it takes about 20 minutes to drive there so allow time. Some little maps are shown below but you might want to look on Google Maps or your own software. Instead of the address, it works better if you search for Bartels Farm.
There is an exit off I-25 for Mountain Vista Road. You can also get to Mountain Vista from Timberline Rd in Fort Colins. Once on Mountain Vista, go west until you can’t go any further (Adriel Hills is a dead end), turn north (right) on Turnberry (formerly County Road 11). The extent of the improved road ends at Douglas Road, turn east (right) and go about 1.5 miles, looking for the farm on the north (left) side of the road.
You can also get to Douglas Road by going north on College (287), all the way to Douglas Road. But you will need to take the right turn off at the “Y”, by the Pioneer Mobile Home Park, north of King Soopers to get on “Highway 1”, away from 287. (On the little map below you can see this junction at the bottom of Terry Lake after you pass Firehouse subs) Highway 1 intersects with Douglas Road at an intersection with a traffic signal so you don’t have to keep looking for the turn off.
