Come Enjoy a Day at the Farm in Arizona!

“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers water bugs, tadpoles frogs and mud turtles elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade in, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, betterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education”

Quote from Luther Burbank famous horticulturist.

At one time a large part of Arizona's economy was farming and agricultural related businesses. Slowly, and sometimes not too slowly, growth has stomped out our citrus groves, agricultural fields, and an important part of Arizona-farming. Here are some spots where you can still enjoy a day at the farm!
