This is one of our favorite farm stands to visit! When I saw they had strawberries - I knew we had…read moreto go. After a quick stop at the farm stand to check in and get our bags weighed, we went down to the stop sign and started picking. Tips for the best strawberries and yes they taste as good as they smell. 1 bring several small bags - the strawberries are so ripe they will squish in big bags 2 wear a hat - you are out in the sun 3 start at the end away from the cars - that area is less picked over. 4 have fun - that is part of the process.

Friends of ours who live Colorado told us this is where their mom gets her chilis. She is an…read moreexcellent cook so I knew this was a no brainer coming for fresh roasted green chili. There is some debate on of Pueblo or Hatch chilis are the best. They specifically mentioned getting the dynamite because it is more spicy or the hottest green chili. I had to try it out. I bought a bushel of the dynamite and had them roast garlic in with it. I made some green pozole and it was very good. If you are passing through or even if it is a little out of the way it is well worth stopping. So there is more work involved, you need to de seed and a little prep to store these but in my opinion it is well worth it. Stop by and check them out.

We make a trip to DiSanti Farms every year around the end of September. We always purchase two…read morebushels of Pueblo chilies for ourselves and then a couple more for family and friends. We generally arrive on a Friday around noon and there may or may not be a line. It's okay as there is something therapeutic about watching them roast the chilies accompanied by the smell. Fall is in the air. We bring several coolers with to keep the chilies warm and to seal the smell in for the ride back to Castle Rock. Once we get home we spread the chilies out on our patio table to allow them to cool. We then bag about 8 chilies in quart size freezer bags. We get about 27 bags of chilies per bushel. The chilies are always tasty and the level of heat fluctuates from year to year. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

I just bought a Rocky Ford watermelon from Hirakata Farms at Safeway in Denver; these were nice…read moreheavy melons. When I took that first bite, I was taken back to childhood days of the Diamondback watermelon from the Texas Valley. It was sweet, seedless with a very nice texture, no mushy parts here. This melon is as good as it gets; I cannot wait to try a Rocky Ford cantaloupe. Hirakata Frams, you have done a wonderful job bringing back your industry with a tracking ticket and tasty melons.

We hadn't been here in five years and not much has changed. Milberger's Farm has a slightly…read moredifferent focus than some of the other farms in the area. If you're looking for a big variety of chili products, the selection is a bit limited, but they make up for it with a great assortment of jellies, jams, popcorn, and fudge that are fun to browse. The service really stood out, the sales clerk was friendly and made us feel welcome right away. They also have a restaurant on-site, and it was very busy on a Sunday, so clearly a popular spot with locals. Overall, it's a nice stop if you're in the mood for sweet treats and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Their dried beans are fantastic, and the variety of green chili products is impressive, spices, cheese, roasted peppers, tortillas, green chili Alfredo, ketchup, BBQ sauce... and that's just the start. It's the kind of place where you want to take a little bit of everything home. The food is consistently great, and I love that they ship almost everything (sadly, not the pies--but that just gives you a reason to come back!). Huge bonus: they're open on Sundays and offer a military discount, which we truly appreciate. If you're anywhere nearby, don't skip this stop, you'll leave with a full bag and probably wish you had more room!

Wanted to order a gift card and have it shipped. Girl that answered the phone was pretty curt. She…read morehanded me off to a lady that was friendly and helpful.

Nice Pumpkins! I bought a very large pumpkin on a whim. As I looked at the pile of gorgeous gourds,…read moresomething puzzled me but, I couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me! Perfect Pumpkins. I haven't seen this many large beautiful pumpkins in years. The price was more than reasonable at $3.94. Not knowing what I was going to do with it, I made the purchase. If nothing else it supports the farm grown on. As I've mulled it over,I decided. Fresh from scratch pumpkin pie. Stay tuned for my first ever pumpkin pie using fresh pumpkin from Dionisio Farms.

We did visit in early fall, so the pickings might be better now. I would love to see some goats roaming around, eating the grass, munching on fallen apples and pears. Will definitely be returning before end of season.

Cute low key apple orchard and pumpkin patch. Very small compared to some fancier pumpkin patches…read morethat I've been too. I saw big boxes full of pumpkins so I think they're bought and put out on the lawn vs being grown on the premise. Also kinda expensive! My pumpkin was big and beautiful but ended up being $12. That being said, admission is free so it's not too bad. There are cute photo opportunities throughout the pumpkin patch area and it's pet friendly so I took some cute pictures of my kitten. The hay ride is fun and takes you to the gift shop which has lots of jams, syrups and a cafe. Sadly they were out of apple cider donuts and didn't have as much pumpkin treats as I would have wanted. Also there is no corn maze :( Overall, it's a fun little orchard and pumpkin patch that's near Colorado Springs. Id recommend going early if you want to try to catch the apple cider donuts!
