Mesilla Valley Maze
1.3 miLas Cruces
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.

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
7.8 miJoe 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.
