FARM GIFT SHOPS (open during festivals only)

Schnepf Farms continues to preserve old farm buildings, whether they come from Schnepf Farms or from farms in the surrounding communities. These relocated buildings have be turned into farm gift shops that we open during our annual festivals. The Neely Farm office, moved from Gilbert, is now our GUEST SERVICES & FIRST AIDE. Long time Queen Creek Farmer Mack Hastings office is now our COUNTRY STORE . Also open during our festivals is a candy shop we have named, MY SISTER'S SWEET SHOP. We hope you enjoy your visit to the farm and you are also able to make a stop at one of our shops.

FARMHOUSE MUSEUM This relocated building, is actually the original Schnepf Family Farmhouse. It's over 100 years old and still has original hardwood floors and the master cedar closet. Mark Schnepf has filled it with a history of his family farm, with photo's dating back to the late 1800's as well as items that were presented to his father or made by his mother.
