Farm Fun

With deep agricultural roots that grew the town from a hay boon into a happening foodie hub, it’s no surprise you’ll still find plenty of farm-related fun in Gilbert.

The 11-acre urban farm and village Agritopia boasts an organic certification and farm-to-table accolades to impress the adults, while younger ones will love grabbing up their own citrus, peaches, and more at seasonal U-pick events.

Family-owned Mother Nature’s Farm bursts into a bounty of fall fun with a Halloween Pumpkin Patch from late September through the end of October. The annual event welcomes attendees to feed farmyard animals, get lost in a maze, and pick out the perfect jack-o’-lantern squash. During December, the fun continues with Christmas tree selections, hayrides, a snow day, Santa, and more.

Stretch your smile as much as your muscles with a session at Arizona Goat Yoga—the nation’s original goat yoga program. Adorable four-legged stars roam over participants in an interactive hour of unique fun for all fitness levels.
