Corn mazes, pumpkin patches, orchards, hayrides, and fall festivals in New Mexico.
Costanza Apple Orchard is a small u-pick apple orchard in Belen with roughly 1,000 trees producing ten apple varieties along with peaches, pears, and farm honey. Pumpkins and winter squash are sold pre-picked in the farm market rather than offered as a u-pick pumpkin patch. The orchard is typically open from late July through the end of December or the first freeze, whichever comes first.
Nichols Ranch and Orchards is a family farm in La Luz that has operated in Otero County since 1882. Its 2026 Pumpkin Patch weekend is confirmed for October 24-25 and includes food trucks and Halloween-themed vendors; a separate Apple Festival weekend is confirmed for October 3-4, 2026, with apple picking, cider, and craft vendors. A separately ticketed nighttime Haunted Orchard trail also runs on other October weekends.
