Chatfield Farms
Farm · Littleton · Colorado
Denver Botanic Gardens' working farm south of the city spreads a pumpkin patch across ten acres and cuts a new corn maze into the fields every fall, with hayrides and an antique tractor display filling out the grounds. There is even pumpkin daycare, so you are not hauling one around all day.
