By Peggy Jo Goodfellow, Arizona Farm Bureau: Members of Arizona Farm Bureau, Tolmachoff Farms is a unique fourth-generation family farm operated in the heart of Glendale, Arizona by Bill and Gracie Tolmachoff and their four children Bill, Ashley, Michael and Brooke.

Bill and Gracie Tolmachoff know lots about farming, entertainment, education and good food. You can find out yourself this fall when you visit their farm. 

Beginning in the early 1900s, the farm originally grew cotton, wheat and corn. Bill Senior started selling plums in the early 1970's from a roadside stand and the pick-your- own farm fresh produce stand has continued to grow ever since.

Today, Tolmachoff Farms grows a large variety of fruits and vegetables and strives to provide you and your family with the ultimate in fresh produce straight from the field to your table. Their produce stand is open mid-May through December from 9 am to 5 pm.

Plan to take the family to Pumpkin Days and Haunted Corn Maze, their upcoming fall family event. Annually they help us celebrate harvest time and there is no better time to go to a farm.
