More than 300 vendors fill the downtown Main Street mall each Wednesday and Saturday from 8:30am to 1pm. Alongside local produce and New Mexican prepared food, you'll find pottery, prints, leather, soap, and Southwest jewelry. Live music changes block to block. The market has earned repeat national rankings among the country's best. It's pet-friendly, and the setting in downtown Las Cruces makes it as much a weekend gathering as a shopping trip.

The Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces has run since 1971 and fills seven blocks of downtown Main Street with up to 200 vendors at peak season. It opens Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8:30 to 1, mixing Mesilla Valley produce, well beyond the region's famous chile and pecans, with crafts, soaps, leather, plants, jewelry, and food trucks. America's Farmland Trust named it the nation's top large farmers market in 2011.

Open since 1999, Mesilla Valley Maze bills itself as New Mexico's original and oldest giant corn maze. The 30-acre farm packs in duck races, gem mining, giant slides, farmer golf, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, and a playground, running weekends from late September through October 31. It sits on West Picacho Avenue west of Las Cruces. The mix of maze and family activities makes it a standard fall stop for Mesilla Valley families.

The farm is based near Anthony, at the New Mexico-Texas line.

Francis Burke planted these 400-plus apple trees in the mid-1970s, and the orchard now bills itself as the last u-pick apple farm in the Mesilla Valley. Picking runs from mid-August through September, Thursday to Sunday. The trees carry tart Jonathans that bake into good pie plus several Delicious varieties, and the farm sells fresh apple pie too. It sits on Shalem Colony Trail northwest of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande.

Joe Lujan Farms has grown chile on the Mesilla Valley since 1939, working about 40 acres of five chile varieties plus squash, okra, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a small pecan orchard. From August into October customers pick their own chile in the fields, then wait at the farm store while it's roasted and packed on site. The Hatch-style medium-hot green chile is the local draw. It sits on Lujan Hill Road northwest of Las Cruces.

Stahmanns has grown pecans at La Mesa, in the Mesilla Valley south of Las Cruces, since 1932. The family orchard runs around 180,000 trees across more than 4,000 acres — among the largest family-owned pecan groves anywhere — and sells estate-grown pecans wholesale in bulk worldwide. The La Mesa country store and candy business that ran for decades has since closed, so the operation now centers on growing, shelling, and warehousing rather than retail.

Sun Mountain Honey is a small Las Cruces operation selling raw, unfiltered honey from its own hives, never heated above hive temperature. Alongside plain honey, beekeeper Laura makes infused jars like red chile honey and a honey-and-apple-cider-vinegar blend. The honey stocks several southern New Mexico spots — the Las Cruces Farmers Market, Mesilla Mercado, Mountain View Market, Toucan Market, and Lowe's Fiesta Foods — and ships to online buyers.

Now past its 25th season, it draws visitors from New Mexico, west Texas, and Chihuahua just north of the state line on Highway 28. Food trucks feed the crowds, and the venue is cashless, taking cards and mobile pay.

La Union

Maldonado Maze operated as a fall attraction in La Union, near the New Mexico-Texas line south of Las Cruces. Visitors walked straw-bale and ribbon mazes and bought roasted corn, hamburgers, turkey legs, and ice cream while kids ran the grounds. Local corn-maze directories now mark it closed since around 2024, so verify before planning a trip.

Anthony

La Union Maze cuts a 13-acre maze beside a 30-acre pumpkin patch just outside Anthony, in the far-south Mesilla Valley near El Paso. Families ride a tractor-pulled wagon out to pick pumpkins, and the farm also grows chile peppers, tomatoes, and melons for u-pick. A cow train, corn cannon, tube slide, and hayrides fill the fall weekends. Most of the season runs September into October.
