Agritourism & Farm Experiences near Elizabeth, CO

Elizabeth

The Patch is a seasonal pumpkin patch and corn maze drawing families from Parker, Castle Rock, Aurora, and Colorado Springs, with a petting area of ponies, goats, sheep, a mini Juliana pig, donkeys, and chickens. The operation now runs from 7400 SH-86 in Kiowa.

Elizabeth

Holly Acres Nursery and Garden Center on Highway 86 in Elizabeth was once the largest supplier of fruit trees in Colorado, selling bareroot, potted, and balled-and-burlapped trees wholesale and retail. The business closed permanently, liquidating its plants, tools, and equipment through a receiver's auction.

Parker

Flat Acres Farm runs a fall festival and maze from late September through Halloween on Dransfeldt Road in Parker, with a pumpkin patch voted Parker's best in 2017. Visitors can also rent a garden plot on the farm's 2.5-acre produce section to grow their own heirloom vegetables, and the farm sells its own honey.

Colorado Springs

Lone Pine Alpacas raises alpacas on Oslo Grove in the Black Forest area northeast of Colorado Springs, offering fiber, breeding stock, and support for people new to raising alpacas themselves. It's a working ranch rather than a public petting-zoo stop — visits and purchases go through direct contact rather than posted hours.

Bennett

Tuff's Ranch raises grass-fed beef without added hormones on open pasture outside Bennett, split across two properties. One side has a walking trail, shooting range, and archery range; the other keeps rescue chickens, ducks, turkeys, peacocks, geese, pigs, emus, sheep, and goats alongside a kids' fishing pond. The ranch also hosts a Memorial Day Western Experience and a Fourth of July block party.

Castle Rock

WolfNRabbit Honey keeps hives across Castle Rock, Larkspur, and Parker and sells raw, unfiltered honey that's never heated, so it keeps its natural pollen and propolis. The same operation also raises grass-fed, hormone-free beef and pasture-raised eggs from Larkspur. Bee nucs with laying queens are available seasonally for backyard beekeepers.

Strasburg

Pinon Ridge Ranch, east of Strasburg on County Road 46, has grown onions and pumpkins alongside pasture-raised turkeys, farm eggs, and honey pulled from its own hives, with pony rides and a petting zoo rounding out the visit. Some directories now list the ranch as closed, so confirm current status before making the drive out from Denver.

Wishing Star Farm sits on Ropers Point in the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs, sharing both the road and the listed phone line with nearby Four Corners Farm — likely two names tied to the same small agritourism cluster. No independent website or social presence surfaced in research. Call ahead before visiting.

Colorado Springs

Four Corners Farm sits on Ropers Point in the Black Forest area northeast of Colorado Springs, part of a small cluster of agritourism properties along the same road. Beyond the address and phone line, the farm keeps a low public profile — no website or social media turned up in research. Call ahead before visiting.

Bennett

Mile High Farms in Bennett runs two corn mazes across 11 acres alongside a pumpkin patch, petting zoo, antique tractor hayrides, and barrel cart rides. The fall festival operates weekends, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with concessions on site.

Monument

Colorado Kids Ranch runs 40 acres near Monument built around kids' camps: Farm Camp for ages 6 to 13, Horse Camp for ages 7 to 14, and a Farm Construction Camp where kids build planters and fences with real tools. Fall brings the Colorado Pumpkin Patch, and December brings Christmas at the Ranch. The ranch is licensed exempt through the Colorado Office of Early Childhood.

Elbert

Spotted Horse Barnyard operates out of Elbert, a small ranching community on Colorado's eastern plains. No website, social media, or independent coverage surfaced in research beyond the listing itself — call ahead to confirm what's currently open.

Black Forest

High Altitude Rhubarb is a family-run, pick-your-own farm between Denver and Colorado Springs, growing rhubarb along with honey, herbs, and heirloom varieties for sale on-site. The farm also operates a small nursery selling rhubarb and horseradish starts, plus rhubarb cookbooks and seed packets for gardeners who want to grow their own at altitude.

Aurora

The City of Aurora runs a seasonal pumpkin patch out of its municipal complex at 151 E. Alameda Parkway — the same address as Aurora's city offices and history museum. It's a city-organized event rather than a working farm. Call ahead for current dates and hours before visiting.

Aurora

Fresh Start Family Farms LLC operates out of Aurora's 42nd Avenue corridor near the airport. Beyond the address, no website, social presence, or news coverage surfaced in research — call ahead to confirm current offerings.

Denver

Four Mile Historic Park — an 1859 farmhouse on the banks of Cherry Creek and one of the oldest standing structures in the Denver area — throws this free fall festival every October. Expect a pumpkin patch, a cake walk, a pie-eating contest, scarecrow building, and a pumpkin hunt for younger kids, with a few individual activities priced separately. The park now runs the event in partnership with ADELSKA. No ticket required to get in the gate.

Littleton

Harvest Fest & Pumpkin Sale is a seasonal fall event on South Gallup Street in Littleton, pairing a pumpkin sale with festival activities during pumpkin season. Regional agritourism directories list it as an annual event, though the organizing group isn't posted publicly — call ahead to confirm dates before visiting.

Littleton

Mueller's Little Farm is a 2.5-acre spread in Littleton that opens its you-pick pumpkin patch on October weekends, with goats, face painting, crafts, and a resident magician for the kids. Parking is free.

Simla

Wade Acres is a 160-acre prairie ranch on rolling grassland nine miles north of Simla on Highway 86, selling pastured beef, chicken eggs, and fresh pumpkins. Visits are by appointment only.
