 Schnepf Farms is Fun for Children!

"Children are our number one priority here at Schnepf Farms. We don't ever want them to forget where their food comes from. We are bringing back "Farmer for the Day" and " Grandma's Baking Day" Classes." It's a way for your children to spend a day with a farmer, or in the kitchen with a baker learning how to bake with fresh from the farm fruits and vegetables.We hope you help us continue this tradition."

Robert Biggs
Born May 15th, 1928 - passed away November  18th, 2004

Bob Biggs or "Farmer Bob" as most people knew him, was a 4th generation Arizonan and proud of the fact that his great grandfather helped settle Lehi Valley in 1878. Bob Biggs loved visiting Schnepf Farms when his daughter, Carrie, married Mark Schnepf. Five years ago, he started helping with educational field trips on the farm, and 3 years ago, Carrie established "Farmer for the Day." This was an opportunity for children to spend 3 hours with Farmer Bob and learn the importance of agriculture.  By teaching school children on the farm and the conducting the "Farmer for the Day Kids Club", Bob Biggs has taught over 100-thousand children the importance of agriculture. He will be remembered by the many children who learned what a "dirt farmer" does, and the many parents who saw his love and patience for the children he taught.

                                                                                                   

"Farmer for the Day" is becoming quite the fun kids activity. Children are learning where their vegetables come from. They spend the day with the farmer by learning how to irrigate, pulling weeds, picking vegetables, enjoying lunch with the farmer, visiting the farm animals and even gathering an egg from the chicken coup. Farmer Bob, Carrie Schnepfs father, started the tradition and now Carrie and her husband Mark are continuing. Please email: schfarm@earthlink.net to reserve your date. Details below.
