Scroll down this page and you will see the U-Pick farms in Tucson and Surrounding Counties in Arizona, sorted by county. Those that offer organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name  (see "What does Organic mean?"). The U-pick crops they offer follow the name of the farm. To search the page for a specific crop, use Ctrl-F (or on an ipad or Mac, use their "search on this page" function) If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website. If you find anything outdated or inaccurate, see the customer and farmer menus (as appropriate) at the top menu bar to submit updates and corrections and help me keep each current!

New! Pricing information - I am building a pricing guide to help you know what the typical prices are for each crop.

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

What's in season in June 2021, and other timely information:

Notes for June 2021: Spring is here and that means Strawberry season is upon us!  It started in Florida, Texas, southern California; then March along the Gulf coast, April in the Deep South and west coast, late May through much of the country, and June in northern areas. Cherries and Blueberries are next, following about a month later in each area. Of course, cool weather crops, like Rhubarb, asparagus and greens should be available almost everywhere right now. Check your area's copy calendar (see this page) and call your local farms for seasonal updates. 

See these pages to find a local Strawberry Festival, or a Cherry or cherry blossom festival or a Blueberry festival.

We also have easy home canning, jam and jelly making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me! It is easy to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. Also note, there are many copycat website listing U-pick farms now.  They have all copied their information from here and usually do not ever update.  Since 2002, I've been updating the information every day but Christmas; so if you see anything wrong or outdated, please write me!

Children's Consignment Sales occur in both the Spring and Fall  See our companion website to find a local community or church kid's consignment sale!

I guess the orchard has recovered from the fire a few years back. There was a fire on the mountain last weekend but it wasn't on the orchard side. They have 36 different varieties of apples! All star and Gala come on first. mid July ~ August . Jonathan, mid August ~ September, and the golden Del. Sept. ~ October. They also have the tarter apples like Arkansas Blacks. You can pick your own OR buy an already picked basket."
    One visitor wrote (May 12, 2008):: "We used to live at the base of Mt. Graham 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. "
