This page provides a detailed list of Arizona's pick-your-own (PYO, U-pick,
pick-it-yourself) farms. I'm always looking for suggestions of more farms and
events to add and feedback about any you have visited, so if you encounter any,
just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the
information, please click on the link to "add my farm".
Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!!
We also have our own free and
simple, step-by-step,
illustrated
instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and
vegetables, such as how to make jam,
apple
butter, applesauce,
spaghetti
sauce, salsa,
pickles,
ketchup or
freezing
corn . If
you are looking
for Canners,
mixes, jars, pectin and other canning supplies at the best prices anywhere!
Note about berries in Arizona: As far as I know, there are NO
pick-your-own farms for strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or blueberries
in Arizona. The heat of the summer appears to be too much for these plants
to survive. If you hear of any that are currently in business,
please let me know!

where this orchard is. It burned in a forest fire several years ago. However
I have been told they have recuperated and are again open. I have a good
friend in Safford, Az, (at the base of the mountain) and she is getting
information for me about when they are opening this year and what kinds of
apples they have. I would be glad to forward that information to you when I
get it. It was a wonderful place to take the kids when they were little and
now they have kids and want to have the experience with their kids. The
thing our kids really liked was finding bear tracks around the trees. Made
is more adventerous. They also had pears. Don't know yet what they have
gotten back. "

Comments from visitors:
A visitor writes on October 27, 2006: "They do
not allow the public to do U-Pick Veggies during October. Their website says
nothing about any restrictions regarding the U-Pick garden - but the gal
behind the counter informed us that we weren't allowed to enter the garden
and pick anything because they needed to save the veggies for the kids that
are there on school field trips. I'm home schooling my son, and asked her if
that even made a difference in the restriction - it did not. I asked
when do they begin letting the public pick - she wasn't completely sure -
but figured sometime in Nov. "
Comment from another visitor, October 22, 2007: "...They
advertise all kinds of things you can pick, but when you get there the only
thing available is cucumber. We drove an hour only to be treated rudely when
we expected what was advertised and a high price for the entrance and the so
called "pick em" This used to be a great family farm for the October
festivities, but the only thing I have seen in the last few years from them
have been higher prices and less offered."
Another visitor writes on October 28, 2007: "I agree with
the person who wrote in on October 22, Tolmachoff farm used to be a great place
to take your family to. Recently they have started to charge for entrance
(more than is reasonable for their size), also they have unreasonably high
prices and not a lot to offer, however some of the things they do offer are
interesting for young children. "
A visitor writes on February 1, 2008: "I also visited
in October, during the fall festival. I didn't find the entrance fee
unreasonable or any employees rude, and we had a blast! Especially our 8
year old daughter. The farm had a petting zoo, bounce houses, 2 corn mazes,
a kid's 'train' ride, a tricycle racing area, and some kids playground
equipment. The pumpkins were a little expensive, but the rest of the goods
in the market were reasonable. We bought preserves, apple butter, and one
big pumpkin."
A visitor writes on September 04, 2008: "I just read
some of the comments on your site and I wanted to let you know that we have
gone to the farm for many years and enjoy everything they have to offer and
everyone is so friendly. They offer activities for children of all ages, we
have many great memories of the farm. Each year they add more & more we will
continue to go every year, our 4 year old son would not come out of the corn
box "what a blast". We are looking forward to this up coming season.
Sincerly, Cindy"
A visitor writes on September 05, 2008: "I have
been a customer of Tolmachoff Farms for many years!! Every year seems to get
better and better! My children have such a terrific time when we have
visited!! From the petting zoo, to the train ride and the wonderful
vegetable garden and large assortment of pumpkins, YOU just couldn't ask for
more!!!!!!! The employees have always been courteous and very helpful when
it comes to providing us with information about the farm or any general
questions we have had. They are very professional. The best time to visit
the farm is in October when they have so many fun activities!!! The haunted
corn maze its definitely our favorite, not to mention a low admission cost
which is also a great deal!! A lot of the other haunted mazes in town can be
twice as much if not more!!!!! Definitely would recommend this farm
experience to any family wanting to have some good fun for a great price!!
You can tell this is a real FAMILY RUN farm, it definitely shows!!! "
A visitor writes on September 14, 2008: "we love
tolmachoff farms, when their sweet corn and vineripe tomatoes are in season
they are the best in this state. we can't wait for this pumpkin season its
so much fun."
Has anyone else got any experiences to share, positive or negative?
Write me! It sounds like
people have fun there, just call first to confirm that what you want is
available and that you are ok with the pricing.

spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
