Despite the fact that it may still be in the triple digits in the desert, fall 2019 is just around the corner. And Arizona Farm Bureau’s Fill Your Plate hopes you’re planning outdoor family outings with Arizona farms in mind. You may have already noticed that Fill Your Plate has a new “Visit A Farm” section, plus we’ve just updated the information below so you can find the nearest farm fall festival near you.
Arizona’s farms you can visit are varied, full of family-oriented fun and give you a chance to teach your children about agriculture in a hands-on, interactive way. Whether the farm is up north or down south, you’ll find a variety of activities for the family during one of our famous pumpkin festivals. Enjoy the fall fun and the cooler weather, at least when it gets here!
