I have blogged about Schnepf Farms many times before. They are a great locally owned farm in Queen Creek, Arizona which is just about a 20 minute from from my home in Gilbert. This time of year they put on their Easter Egg-Citement event which is happening on April 4th from 9am to 4pm. Reservations for this event are strongly preferred as they try and keep it somewhat small so those participating have plenty of room to hunt. The hunts are divided up in to groups: 0-2 year olds 3-5 year olds 6-8 (16 comments)
Every year beginning in February at Schnepf Farms hundreds of fruit trees begin to bloom with Pink and White blossoms. This picturesque scene plays out on over 80 acres of orchards. Schnepf Farms opens up their farm during this season to allow everyone the opportunity to experience this beautiful landscape. When at the farm you can also take advantage of their train rides, hay rides, and walking paths through and amongst the tree orchards.
Event Details: Begins February 5th and Ends February 28th Thursdays thru Sundays 9am to 4pm Guided Hay Rides $6. Get a personalized tour with farm owner Mark Schnepf (5 comments)
