About Cottonwood Farms
Who is ready for some classic farm fun!? Cottonwood Farms is a delightful family-friendly farm located just north of Lafayette. This charming destination truly comes alive every fall with its much-anticipated Fall Festival! Perfect for families, Cottonwood Farms offers a wide array of engaging activities that will delight and amuse both kids and adults alike.
At the heart of the festival are the mazes. Children can venture through the straw bale maze or test their navigation skills in the expansive 1 1/2 acre cornfield maze. These fun challenges are not just about getting lost and found, but about creating memories and enjoying the outdoors.
For those curious about history, the farm showcases its historic 1906 Cast steam tractor along with other fascinating farm equipment. This is a great opportunity for kids to learn about farming history and ask questions, fostering both curiosity and learning.
Animal lovers will be thrilled to meet the friendly farm animals. Watch calves, goats, sheep, chickens, and even Rocco the donkey in their natural environment. While it's not a petting zoo, if the animals approach, kids can enjoy a special moment of connection by petting them.
Weekends in October bring the added excitement of hay rides, a timeless experience that lets families enjoy the scenic beauty of the farm. Don’t forget to pick up some locally grown produce, including the iconic pumpkins, to take a piece of the farm home with you.
Cottonwood Farms is family-run, which means they know just what makes a day out special for families. Whether you're visiting for the Fall Festival or stopping by in December to find the perfect Christmas tree, Cottonwood Farms offers a quintessential farm experience that embodies the warmth and charm of Colorado.
