Davis Farms Pumpkin Patch

Clovis, NM

Davis Farms has grown pumpkins commercially in Curry County since the family started farming near Clovis in 1917. In 2009 the third generation, Kenneth and Jacqueline Davis, opened a public pumpkin patch with a corn maze, hay rides, a pile they call Pumpkin Mountain, and retail pumpkin sales.

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.

The Romero family settled the valley in the 1700s.

Ruidoso Downs New Mexico

Ruidoso Downs, NM

Ruidoso Downs is a horse racing track, not a farm, though its listing landed in the directory. The track hosts Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred racing and is home to the All American Futurity, the richest race in Quarter Horse racing at a $3 million purse, run every Labor Day since 1959. After flood damage, the 2026 season shifted to Albuquerque Downs, so check the track's site before planning a visit.

Taos, NM

Taos Cultural Farm Visits is a nonprofit started in 2007 to connect travelers with working farms and ranches across Northern New Mexico.

Others cover traditional New Mexican cooking and vineyard tours. The group publicizes member farms rather than charging visitors directly.

San Cristobal, NM

Taos Goji Farm rents ten historic log cabins beside a four-acre organic goji berry field on 40 acres in San Cristobal, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

U-Pick Mesilla Valley Apples Burke Orchard

Las Cruces, NM

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.

It sits on Shalem Colony Trail northwest of Las Cruces along the Rio Grande.

Valhalla Orchards, LLC

Arrey, NM

Valhalla Orchards planted more than 500 peach trees in 2014 and now runs both commercial sales and u-pick peaches, with apricots in the mix too. The orchard sits off I-25 at Arrey, between Truth or Consequences and Hatch in Sierra County, and delivers to select New Mexico grocers during the season. Peach picking depends on the summer crop, so the farm posts timing on its Facebook page each year.

Wagner's Farmland Experience

Los Lunas, NM

Wagner's Farmland Experience runs a fall corn maze and u-pick gardens in Los Lunas, part of the Wagner family's long-running Corrales farm operation.
