    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 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, 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 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.

Eggs

Eggs: Tips, Recipes and Information

Many PYO farms keep chickens and have farm-fresh eggs to sell. Certainly, these eggs are fresher and better in every way than those from a grocery store. Many of these farms sell the eggs year round, often via an honor box

Before you leave to go to the farm:

  1. Always call or check their website or facebook page before you go to the farm - Egg supplies can vary, chickens lay fewer in cold weather.
  2. Bring a container for the eggs.  Some farms have them some not, but if you save and reuse egg cartoons, the farmers will appreciate it. It helps cut their costs - and thus yours!
  3. Bring cash - many operate honor boxes for eggs

When you get home

 To keep eggs safe, take eggs straight home and store them immediately in the refrigerator set at 35 to 40 F. Leave the eggs in their carton and place them in the back of the refrigerator, not in the door (which is the warmest part of the fridge).
