Agritopia Farm Stand

02.24.11
Farms in the city are few and far between, but sometimes it’s since to go out to Gilbert and vist the Agritopia development where they have a farm stand, The Coffee Shop, and Joe’s Farm Grill. Not too long ago Scott and I decided to stop at The Coffee Shop for a sweet treat, and thought it would be nice to check out the Agritopia farm stand while we were there.

Lately the sun has been warm and I have found myself yearning to travel to a small town to enjoy a nice walk, shopping time in cute boutiques, and lunch at an amazing sandwich shop. I have been thinking that a small town in Colorado, Steamboat Springs, would be perfect. It is one of my favorite towns in Colorado, and somewhere I’ve spent quite a bit of time in. If only I could take a jet plane there for the day!

Citrus is in an abundance here in Arizona, and I just love when all the citrus trees are in season. Last year Scott and I went venturing around an orange grove near where I went to high school. We didn’t take any oranges, but I was so tempted to pick a juicy orange off the tree. My absolute favorite farm though, Schnepf Farms, has peach trees and last year Scott and I went and picked peaches. I’m hoping that this year we have time to do that again.
Life lately has been busy. Last weekend was my cousin’s wedding, and this week I am getting ready to start study for mid-terms, and continually working on some writing projects. I still can hardly believe that it’s almost March! Where has the semester gone? Pretty soon I’m going to be wearing a cap and gown, Anthropologie dress underneath, and walking the line to get my diploma! WOW! For the last year I have been saying I want a pretty dress from Anthro to rock on graduation day. I guess it’s time to start the hunt!

Do you have many farms in your area? What kind of fruit is produced in your area?
