text: My family and I go out to Schnepf Farms a few times a year usually once during peach season and once for the Pumpkin Festival in the fall Either way our kids always enjoy it and we come back with something delicious to eat nnOn our most recent trip we picked some little peaches that were really sweet and juicy They do not spray any chemicals on their orchards so we were able to eat the peaches right off the tree which our girls think is pretty cool They had the train running and the YOUpick garden open I was able to FILL a plastic grocery bag with fresh organic spinach for Sure I had to pick it myself while my husband took the girls on the giant slide and to the petting zoo but the vegetables share their space with some beautiful flowers Who could really complain about picking fresh vegetables while looking at a field of gorgeous flowers and listening to their kids giggle in the distance Certainly not mennThere are pros and cons to visiting during festivals The pros Food stands rides music shows The cons lines entrance fees hoards of people I prefer going when there is no festival taking place The kids can have a little more freedom to run around and play and we do not have to stand and wait in line for the hay ride or train or anythingnnUnless you live in the far east valley it is quite a hike to get to Schnepf Farm Every time we have gone my husband or I inevitably says Wow this is SO far away Are we almost there I do not remember it being this far But it is And it is worth it
