| - This is based on two visits now. One was for their pumpkin festival and then our visit today to pick peaches and visit the store. Our visit to the pumpkin festival was not a great one. It was cramped into a small space and we didn't care for the variety of amusement rides, our opinion may change as our two-year-old gets a bit older.
Our visit today was great. It was the last day for peach picking, which is good because they are really picked over. You can drive back to the orchards but we walked and it wasn't bad at all (except AZ heat, of course). The orchards aren't as smooth and even on the ground as Agritopia or Schnepf , so toddlers may have a challenging time without being worn or carried. Definitely wear tennis shoes and not sandals for fruit picking. We had a lot of fun. The cost was much cheaper than other farms. We paid $13.50 for about 10 lbs of peaches. They also sold already picked peaches behind the store.
The store was really great, with produce and other edible goods primarily from local growers. We spent $10 on an enormous zucchini, two ginormous carrots, a bag of grapes, strawberry and a rouge apple our kiddo picked out. They even carry The Tamale Store tamales, frozen. Wish they had our favorite Tex Mex flavor! The store takes credit and debit cards and had a lot more goodies to choose from including some interesting spices, marinades, candies and salsas.
We will be back to the store frequently and to pick fruit but prefer another local farm for pumpkin festivities.
