Schnepf Farms, Arizona's Best Family Experience!

U-Pick Garden & Orchards

Due to a freeze on November 29th & 30th 2006, our greens beans, sweet peas, cucumbers & squash have all frozen.

Every year we plant more and more vegetables. We know how important it is to know where your vegetables come from, for this reason we are trying to continue to plant more so you and your families will be able to pick vegetables directly from the garden. All of our orchards are organic. We do not use any pesticides whatsoever on our farm. Coming soon we will be announcing one more way that we are helping the environment and making sure your families are protected when visiting our farm (please bookmark for an announcement soon!). Please look at the calendar below for an complete listing of what we have available and what time.

Please check the calendar below for a list of what is in season and mark your calendar for future fruits and vegetables.

Lease a Peach Tree....it was a huge success! Peaches were bountiful and those people who had a special tree, enjoyed the fruits of our labor.

Be a part of something unbelievably sweet….Lease your own Schnepf Farms Peach Tree for the 2007 season. Lease your own Peach Tree and enjoy the sweet goodness of Schnepf Farms Peaches without any of the hassle. This is not only a great idea for the person who LOVES the taste of great peaches, but it’s a perfect gift idea for the person who has everything!

We grow five varieties of peaches. The orchard for lease is Earligrande, considered to be our BEST peach flavor, color and size.

Fruit crops vary year to year, and you will share in the excitement and risk of what each year brings.

Details: $175.00 per tree
You receive: an assigned tree with your name. A map of the orchard showing where your tree is located. Notification of when your tree is being pruned so you can either participate or simply enjoy watching. 10 free admissions into the Peach Festival, held every Saturday and Sunday in May. We would love to notify you when the trees are in bloom, but Mother Nature has made it too difficult for us to predict. Typically the months of January and February. They bloom for only a short time, about 10 days.

$75.00 additional if you want us to pick the peaches at the peak of ripeness and deliver them to your doorstep.  We will only deliver within the Phoenix Metro Area. There will be no deliveries outside of the Phoenix area. Please click here to reserve your tree.
