Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

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   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

    Comments from a visitor on June 29, 2012:
    "Just thought I would update your comments section on this wonderful farm. Tomatoes are still "on" and are so good! Still just 2.00 per pound. Their corn is picked every day and sooooo delicious. Originally from Iowa I think the tomatoes are every bit as good. And corn just has to be cooked the day it is picked!!!!!!! I stopped even trying to grow my own. I visit 2 per week and have been feasting on the produce! "
    Comments from a visitor on November 11, 2010:
    "I was reading all the good feedback on the farm and thought I would let you know I have been there several times. I have taken Bus loads of little ones from the School Districts to see the farm. They all have such a great time when they are there. If not for this farm I don`t think a majority of the kids would ever see farm animals up close or pick vegetables right out of the garden. They are all so cute when they get on the Bus to go home with their little bags of vegetables and small pint sized pumpkins. They really enjoy themselves when they are there. And some of the Teacher`s I have heard them talk about when they were kids and on their grand parents farm how coming to Tolmachoff`s Farm has brought back memories. I think it is great what they do for the kids. I enjoy getting the field trips myself. I love going to the Farm. Thanks Tolmcchoff`s for All you do. Hope to see you soon."
    Comments from a visitor on June 26, 2010:
    "Tomatoes this year at Tolmachoff Farms are especially good. Phoenix, AZ spring weather was milder than usual and thus was kinder than normal to their tomatoes. Big ole beefsteaks like my Grandma used to grow in Kansas. I especially like their heirloom brandywines. They say they should have tomatoes into July this season and I have to wait another week for cantaloupe. Tomatoes this year are $2 a pound and well worth it. Growing tomatoes in our dry hot climate is a monumental challenge and Tolmachoff pulls it off year after year. Special Note: Arizona tomatoes are different than those grown in the Midwest or Jersey. The culprit is the soil and the heat here. But biting into a big juicy meaty tomato makes up for the taste difference. I have been in Phoenix since 1974 and a customer of Tolmachoff since I found them on yet another quest to find a good tomato. Enjoy"
    Comments from a visitor 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."
    Comments from a visitor 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!!! "
    Comments from a visitor 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"
    Comments from a visitor 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."
    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.
