At their…read morefarm stand in Brighton, they not only have garden veggies & fruits, but flower baskets, salsas, sauces, jams & much much more. You can find them in many Denver metro Farmer's Markets as well. Check out their website for more info & locations. I discovered them one Sunday at the Central Park (Founder's Green) Farmer's Market - 29th & Roslyn (8:30AM -12:30PM). At Founder's Green look for the yellow tents & big white truck every week, rain or shine thru about mid-October. I was told they've been at that same spot for 20 years. The produce looks like it could appear on a Food Magazine cover! It's beautiful. Everything is bigger, brighter & better than what you'd find in the grocery aisles. Over the weeks I've tried many of the veggies & fruits, sometimes they have yummy samples. The two owners ( I think they are the owners), are there each week - one helps customers with the produce & the other weighs & takes payment. They're friendly & super helpful. They've given tips on microwaving corn on the cob & offering to cut off the very long tops of carrots. Speaking of corn....if you're a corn lover their Peaches & Cream Corn on the Cob is definitely worth getting, so fresh & sweet. Palizzi Farms Produce is the best!

Our friends recommended Lulu's Farm, especially their tamales, so we had to check it out! We bought…read morethe red pork tamales, and while they were definitely good--spicy and packed with meat--I found the masa to be a bit less silky than I prefer. I also grabbed a jar of their homemade Hatch hot salsa, and I loved that it's made with simple ingredients: peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and spices, without any citric acid. I finished the jar in just two days! We couldn't resist picking up a bushel of roasted Big Jim's green chiles with garlic heads, which are perfect for making chile rellenos. And let's not forget the Hatch green chile bacon sausage brat--absolutely amazing and highly recommended! Overall, our shopping experience was pleasant. The outdoor eating area was nice, and the staff and management were friendly. There's a great variety of items available, from lawn statues to an impressive selection of prepared foods, preserves, frozen items, and fresh produce. I'll definitely be back to try more!

I found the blistered skin came off easy enough but each chili had no meat on them. I was shocked. These are supposed to be my stash and not only did the chili's NOT have any meat on them but they had no heat nor flavor. I made a simple bean burrito loaded down with chili and onion and the chili seemed no existent. I took 2 tablespoons and ate it and again, no flavor. It was like eating wax. So what happened? I don't think the chilis came from New Mexico, I thing LuLu's collected the seeds and and grew them in Colorado soil under Colorado sun..I'm very disappointed, disappointed in deed.

Wow, my yesterday's visit to this historic park was so mesmerizing. It's because of their annual…read more(?) "Bright Nights" (originally a lantern festival.) It is said that they unveil a brand new theme each year and this year's theme appears to be focused on some Eastern cultures such as cherry blossom and bamboo forest with pandas. Not that I have been to many lights shows and yet I must say that I have never seen anything quite like this as far as my recollection is accurate. In its 12-acre land, the installations of lantern lights are everywhere. After 8:30pm or so when it's dark, the illuminations from the lanterns are glowing brighter than Las Vegas' illuminations (LOL - why am I comparing this to Las Vegas!!) According to the park's website, some of the sculptures are 23-foot tall (such as the cherry blossom gate.) It's currently open from Wednesday through Sunday until October 5th. And last night's was one of the adult-only nights where you must be 21+ to enter (I believe the next and last such night is Sept 17th. And this writing is as of late August of 2025.) I am already curious as to what the next year's theme is going to be. There is a centralized bar, some food vendors, a stage where a performer performs, and a DJ booth. Great for family time, girls' night or date night. Helpful staff were working tirelessly to assist all visitors. Although about 1,300 tickets were sold last night, it was never super jammed packed. There is still time to visit this enchanting light show. Not only for the locals but definitely one of the must-visit attractions for out-of-staters as well.

Every inch of the 12 acres had lights and even in the trees and bushes. So many details that it seemed realistic.

This event is for young and old and I highly recommend going!

You walk through covered barns and fields that have been transformed into different, fun scenese like an underwater/coral reef situation and a pirate's cove. Super fun for kids, I'm sure. Overall, it was cute and not really as impressive in person as what Instagram promised. Also disappointed that most of the pumpkins weren't real, but I guess I can't really expect real pumpkins dangling by the dozens above little kiddies heads, right? Either way, you can tell people spent time planning and executing this - it is evident and appreciated. I'm glad the bf and I opted for after hours, slightly discounted pricing at $14/each because a) cheaper and b) less kids = less crowded. I can't say I am holding my breath for the next one, but it was a cute experience nonetheless. Took a ton of pictures - there's quite a few photo ops after each pumpkin land.

I gave myself lots of time. It was super hot in the sun - bring a hat with a big visor!! At this time of year this year the corn was all pretty dried out - very fall feeling. I went on a weekend day - a Saturday - so yah there were plenty of families and such. I just randomly wandered the corn maze running into the occasional child or parent but or teen group, but I found it very nice to just wander until I got out! It took about an hour. No stress and it actually felt positive that there were lots of other people in the maze at the same time. Less scary. They had a mini corn maze and a "crazy" corn maze so I chose the crazy one since I was trying to be brave. If you feel less brave, try the mini one! Next year I might try their night time corn maze! I love how they curated the pumpkin area! Pumpkins galore everywhere and organized by their gorgeous colors. So pretty and seriously so many like WOW! It was visually really nice. Lots of great creative photo op areas were nicely set up. Lots of kid activities of course. If you're a lone adult like me you're probably gonna do - corn maze, food truck, shopping. I like that they partnered with Palomar Farms to have some farmers market goodies. I did seem some unique jarred delights. I walked away with FROG jam and rhubarb jam! Next year I will try to go earlier in the season when the corn maze is maybe still a little bit green to see what that's like. I liked their modern branding and curated vibe. The corn maze staff was also super friendly and understood my anxiety. I also loved that the activities were a la carte. I paid for the corn maze which was under $20 and my jarred market delights which were $8.99 each. Parking was free. Okay I'm stating that cause I'm from LA. It's still a relief when parking is free here!

We were lost for the first ten minutes of the reservation, driving aimlessly around red rocks park. Until we happened to follow a car around the corner of the lower south lots, otherwise we never would have found it. We had no line and it took about 10 minutes to drive through, and we honestly could've gone faster. If you're creative you can get some nice pictures of the lights, but the majority of the course is barren with traffic cones. If there is any crowd, you will be stuck between a line of cars which also would take away from the already minimal experience. Not something I would do again, left a lot to be desired.
