After a weekend in Flagstaff, we decided to break up the ride home with a stop off at Mortimer Family Farms to check out the Pumpkin Festival... It was approximately a 15 mile detour, and a great way to get some of the kids (who am I kidding - adult energy out) mid-day. As promised, the farm is full of all kinds of activities and entertainment, animals and games for all ages, photo opps, food, and more. Since it was a weekend, the cost for admission was $15 per person. Yes, it's pricey, but there's plenty to do onsite if you want the most bang for your buck. We were there for approximately 2 hours and didn't see half of what this attraction has to offer. My kids (4 and 6) enjoyed the hill slide, straw maze, tire races, swings, goats, chick zone, tractor and hay stack / pumpkin photo opps. They also convinced me to splurge on "Face Painting" which we requested they get on their arms instead of faces. In addition, we purchased some beverages and candy, but didn't partake in the other food options or pumpkins, which I heard were expensive compared to elsewhere. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and despite being crowded, the space is huge and accommodates the crowd well. People of all ages were having fun! My dog was also with us -- on leash of course, which I was happy was allowed. I am sure we could have spent another couple of hours playing, but it was hot out and we wanted to get home... I'd definitely recommend the Mortimer Farms Pumpkin Festival as a day trip or side trip from Sedona or Flagstaff... save money by visiting M-Th if it works for your schedule, and if it's not pumpkin season, check out their website as it appears there is almost always something happening and this fun family farm! read more

We drove up to Prescott for the weekend to spend some much needed family time in cooler temps. Our main event of the trip was visiting Mortimer Farms for the annual pumpkin patch and fall festivities. Overall the drive was worth it just to be able to comfortably walk around the area with out melting into a puddle of sweat. The entrance fee was cheaper than some of the other farms in the valley. We purchased tickets online a couple days before our trip and the check in process was easy. Once inside, there are a lot of activities for kids to do. Most of the activities are geared towards older kids though. Our 3.5 yo wasn't able to do many by himself (or was too nervous to leave our side ‍). In total, we spent about an hour/hour and half at the farm. read more

Yesterday went in on our way into Prescott. Picked up delicious cookies, syrup, preserves and the lady enthusiastically recommended the chicken pot pie. (I hate chicken pot pie) Made it for dinner tonight and it was even better than she said. We are already talking about our next trip to get another. Perfect winter meal. read more

Great place with awesome employees! Products are great tasting. If you're ordering online call to make sure it's in stock. read more

Picked up some jam and some pickled peppers. The prices were about what you would expect from a farm fruit stand. The pastries looked delicious and I will make sure to try some next time I am there. read more

Omg the Shepard's Pie is delicious. The fudge is addicting. Can't wait to try the chicken pot pie!!

We stop here every time we go to Prescott because my best friends mother loves the pickles and we usually find some other things to try as well and we like to look at the plants and garden. On our most recent visit (5/12) when we went to pay we were publicly and openly shamed for wearing masks by the cashier. First of all this is bad business as you should want to make everyone feel welcome so they will spend and return. Secondly, and most infuriating was that she waited to give her opinions until I was paying. It's pretty bold to criticize a customer in general but to wait until I pay, now that is something. Needless to say we will be finding other pickles elsewhere. read more

The staff at Mortimer Farms is not only incompetent, but also rude when you ask why it is taking over an hour to receive the burger that you ordered. Do not waste your money at this place. read more

Let's start with the good. My kids loved this place. The admission price felt a little steep--$20 per person over the age of 2 for the first Saturday in October, but once we arrived I felt a little better about the cost. There were several games and play experiences for my kids to enjoy along with a barrel train and two different hayrides. The farm was very beautiful and the pumpkins that we picked were exactly what you want your pumpkin to look like. They also have a smart little "pumpkin check" system. You can grab a wheelbarrow, that you have to give them your driver's license to use, go pick your pumpkins, bring them back to pay for them and then leave them at the stand. You are given a ticket and when you're ready to leave the farm you can come back and grab your pumpkins. Now for the bad. Things seemed very disorganized when it came to the food stands. Customer service was lacking. One employee was ranting about how she was going to walk out and wasn't sure if we'd be receiving our food if she left. At that point, we just wanted our food or our money back and it was obvious that we weren't going to be getting any help from her. My husband ended up speaking with the owner, as that was the first person that worked there he encountered after the previously mentioned employee, and let's just say that the exchange left a lot to be desired. If we try this place again next year, we'll be sticking to what's included in the admission price and picking pumpkins. read more

So bummed. What happened Mortimer's farm? We've been coming for about 5 years for the pumpkin patch and it seemed it's declines every year. For the money we spend to get in as a family, we look forward to same good old memories. Everything seems to falling apart. No more corn maze, or big tractor rides... literally every bike is broken in the kids section.. things are falling apart. When the the amount you charge per person and long lines, use some of that money to renovate the play areas that are falling apart. This year was a huge disappointment. Left after an hour and half of being there. Just not the same. Please renovate and fix up all the fun play areas. read more

We stopped in about 2 years ago, entry was free, we had a great time! Today... no. We went with family, my three were $90, my Aunt, Uncle and 3 Young kids were $150! What? Then got zero help when we had questions about tickets, because it's all Automaited. My rating will remain as is until they improve. read more

We took our 2 teens on a weekday so most food places were closed the only open ones line was really long so ate somewhere elseit cost over $70 to get in they did like the petting zoo but as far as most of the activities they were geared towards younger kids and the things the could do kids just ran in front and cut or went the wrong way most of the fields didn't have much other than the peppers alot of the pumpkins were either not ready or smashed biggest highlight was the corn maze probably won't go next year because it's not worth the price. read more

Went to the blackberry festival this morning and I am not sure what the $15 admission price covered. We got there at 9 am because we didn't want to be melted by the Arizona sun, but there were absolutely no festivities going on. No entertainment, bands, etc. We picked some blackberries and saw the gardens for about an hours and then went to check out. The cost of the produce isn't included in the admission price. The outside restaurant doesn't open til 11 so we waited around for that. Food was OK but choices are limited. By the time we left a magic show was starting. It would be nice if they posted a schedule of events. Perhaps going in the evening is better. I guess if you have kids, it is worth going because they have alot of playground type activities. If you just want produce or other farm products, just go to the store and pick it up. Most of the best produce was already picked and packed in the market anyway. Also the options in the little deli in the store looked way better than the outdoor kitchen anyway. read more

If you are looking to escape the big city and enjoy some good, outdoor, family fun then head over to Mortimer Farms! Our family drove up for the sunflower festival in August. The pick your own vegetables were phenomenal. My three children played for hours on all of the swings, bouncer, obstacle course, and zip line. The farm animals are so fun to feed. Nothing like getting family fun on a farm! We will be back for pumpkin fest this fall! read more

Mortimer Farms - Beautiful sunflowers at the Mortimer Farms Sunflower festival! - Attraction Farms Near Me - Dewey, Arizona

My family of 4 went to pick vegetables and berries, but had to pay the $70+ for four admissions to the "festival" to do so. We were told that blackberries were on the tail end of the season, but that there was still many left to pick. (There was not.) The berries were completely picked over. The vegetables too. If you want to get produce, just buy it from inside the store. We were able to pick zero items out in the field. It was way overpriced. Luckily the kids had fun on the barn-games in the play area. But it was a pretty steep price to pay to play barn games for less than an hour. We have been coming here for years for pumpkin festivals, but we stopped on a whim to just pick produce, and it was disappointing to have to pay festival prices and to be told there was plenty of pickin's and there was not. I would have appreciated it more if they said - look, the fields and gardens are picked over, but the price is just to play on the equipment. Just be straight up with customers rather than leading them on. Also, for the amount of people the farm holds, I only saw 2 port-a-potties and one "regular" bathroom. Definitely room for improvement. read more

other years i had no complaints but this year i do. absolutely no shade. you have to walk super far to the corn maze from the main entrance, the tractors only take you so far. i was under the impression you get a free pumpkin with admission but we were told we have to pay so we left it and went to buy one elsewhere because that was ridiculous (you pay $25 to get in but don't get a pumpkin). lines at the farm food places are PACKED, we waited 30 minutes for a disgusting crepe that was so mushy and the fruit was like watery. the lines for the 3 tractors are 45+ minutes so you end up walking where you want to go regardless. i wish i could get my money back because this year was not it. i ended up spending almost $200 for a subpar time. i don't think we will be back next year. :( read more

OMG I loved this place. They have the most amazing beef and produce here. We stopped in on our way up to the Point Of Rocks RV Park in Prescott. We purchased some grass fed ground beef, marinated mushrooms, hot pickles, chili's, ham and swiss cheese sandwich and the best apple cider in Arizona. They have lots to do with your family and friends so if you're up near Prescott I HIGHLY recommend you stop in here for fun, shopping or to just grab something to eat. The staff is super helpful and friendly you won't be disappointed. read more

We took our daughter to Mortimer Farms as she was excited for the pumpkin patch and corn maze. While the events and activities were ok, the lack of following safety protocol when it comes to social distancing and masks was appalling. No workers has masks or gloves, even though there were signs on the store door. There was no sanitizing/hand washing stations. I would estimate that 90% of attendees did not wear masks or take any precautions either. I would encourage the farm to look into more precautions if they don't want to be a hot spot for infections. At a minimum encourage your staff to abide by safety protocols, add hand washing stations, try to keep the 6 foot distance when in lines, etc... If you are at all concerned with exposure, avoid going. read more

Shockingly unsafe: this place has a reckless disregard for you and your family. Staff and customers are not wearing masks or distancing. Yes, it's a farm, but they route you through the store when you enter and exit. On the way out, the line to pay was nearly out the door with people crammed into the tiny space inside. There must have been 50 people inside with maybe 20% of customers masked. No staff members were masked; almost like they were making a point of it. Unacceptable. We decided to leave all of our items and found a way to exit without passing through the store. After making the drive up with a toddler and a baby, we left empty-handed. We've been three times before, but this was our last visit. read more

Very VERY UNSafe. The store is packed people are literally touching each other to get past each other. Masking is NOT required. Employees aren't wearing masks inside the store and things are not being cleaned. Livid. We drove up from phx because the website says they are open and respecting guidelines. They are not. We used to love coming here and they are missing basic common sense. This would be a very safe and easy place to come. Require masking inside the store. Maximum occupancy inside the store. Set up kiosks outside to weigh fruits and vegetables and for tickets. They are doing none of these things read more

Very nice experience for my daughter, granddaughter and myself. Loved feeding the goats and seeing my girls enjoy themselves!

Let me start with the following If you are reasonably concerned about COVID, this is NOT the place to go. The staff does not wear masks not does any of them seem to understand the concept of social distancing. While the pumpkin fest is set-up super cute, don't bother to go in the afternoon during the week since everything is pretty much closed. We showed up at 4:30pm and barely made it to our pre-paid dinner before they closed that booth which was the last and only one open. So much about being open till 7pm. The strawberry fields were picked empty which was another bummer since no one told us before we got the tickets. The S'mores pit was awesome though!!! I hate to provide this feedback since we really love this place but it was just an overall disappointing experience on top of the health concerns read more

I bought tickets online for the Pumpkin Fest & Corn Maze (10/1 - 10/31). After reading reviews that it was crazy crowded on the weekends, I decided to get tickets for Monday 10/25. 3 tickets were $14 each with a $6 fee, for a total of $48. Choose wisely, because it's $10 to rebook. The FULL festival is offered only on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun and Columbus Day). We were a little disappointed that most of the food booths were closed including crepes and ice cream, and there were no pig races or hayrides. The colorful little train was also not running. However, this was more than made up for by the lack of crowds. My granddaughter (age 4, almost 5) had a BLAST. She was a non-stop dervish of activity from beginning to end, wearing out her poor grandparents! A feature of this venue is all rides are "farm inspired", meaning human powered. The merry-go-rounds need to be pushed by a grown up and the others are kid powered. My GD had no problem with this, loving the giant marshmallow-looking jumper, the pedal cart track (on big tricycles) and slides. The animal areas were a big hit with her. She fed the goats, chickens and piglets handfuls of corn and corncobs we found lying on the ground near the cornfield. The lack of crowding was wonderful for this. We also took a fun train ride to the pumpkin patch and back. The very nice driver stopped for about 5-7 minutes to let us walk around, and my GD made snow angels in the corn pit and jumped on the pumpkin jumper. One of her socks is forever lost near that jumper! The pumpkin patch looked picked over and we didn't go inside - we didn't have time, and we didn't want to wait for the next train. GOOD: (1) Uncrowded on a weekday. Parking on the dirt lot was easy. An employee inside the store scanned our ticket bar codes on my phone, and gave us pink wristbands. Getting inside was quick and easy, and it was simple to walk around without having to weave through crowds of people. There were 2 school buses of schoolkids (kindergarten and 1st grade) on field trips! The kids were well behaved, and while things got a bit crowded when they converged, my granddaughter was happy to have other kids to play with. Once the kids departed, we had areas of the place almost to ourselves. (2) Kiddy rides. Some reviewers panned the rides, saying they don't like their being parent powered. We didn't mind. It was more unique and kind of fun. A volunteer dad manned the "redneck slide", which my GD found too scary to ride more than once. She had a major blast on other rides, and we played tether ball! The farm play area is geared to kids 4-12. Little kids won't be able to ride the rough-hewn rides, and bigger ones will probably get bored. (3) Animals. They seemed healthy and happy. Piglets were adorable. NOT SO GOOD: (1) Lack of employees and dangerous conditions at a couple of the rides. I did not see a single employee on the vast grounds other than at the food booth and the train driver. Notably, no one was there to monitor the play areas to make sure they were safe. Apparently, Mortimer Farms' making everyone checkmark a waiver of liability upon buying tickets and placing multiple signs declaring "hold harmless, enjoy at your own risk" is a substitute for safety protocols. My granddaughter did not want to do the Zip Line as it looked too scary. I would not have let her. I watched kids FLY at the end. It would be easy to tumble off onto the hard ground. At the jumper, there is a large sign stating 52", the top height to go on it. Kids (and near adults) much taller than that went onto the jumper. A couple times, a large kid landed on top of my GD, who would then cry. An employee to monitor this area would be a good thing. (2) Food choices and prices. The website states firmly that outside food and drink is not allowed. If you obey this rule, you are stuck buying what they offer, and the pickings were slim. Many booths were closed when we were there, leaving us with one place only to get lunch. It cost us $32 for 2 BBQ pork sandwiches, sides, 2 drinks, and one extra side. There was no sauce on the sandwich. We ultimately figured out you had to get your own on a side table using a couple of greasy-looking squeeze containers (ewww). The sandwiches were tasty but not worth the price. There was a sign advertising roasted corn for $4 and caramel apples for $6, but the booth was closed. :( (3) Pumpkin prices. Sky high. Don't buy your pumpkin here. Just take photos of your kids nestled among them. The grocery store and Walmart have way better prices. (4) Picking. Your admission allows you into the U-pick areas. But there was NOTHING to pick. The strawberry patch was picked clean, as was the blackberry patch. (5) Corn maze. It was supposedly open, but there was no signage or map. We saw one entrance as we rolled by on the little train. We never went into it. OVERALL: Because my granddaughter had such a good time, I am awarding 4 stars for Mortimer Farms. She loved it, and that's what counts! read more

We love coming here for the different events they hold throughout the year, especially in the fall!! They have a great selection of produce in their store that always tastes great. I love being able to interact with the animals and feed them, and everyone who works there is so nice. Definitely a must stop everytime we head to Prescott! read more

I'm between a 2 and a 3 for this review, but since there aren't many of its kind in AZ, I'll go with the 3. There is definite potential for this to be a 4 or 5 with some minor improvements, and money shouldn't be a problem because this place has to make bank at $16.50 a head to get in. This is a great place for toddlers and small children. There are plenty of activities to keep them entertained, from tire swings, to bouncy things for them to jump on, to feeding goats and chickens, and several other things. I wasn't a big fan of the dog races because that tiptoes the edge of entertainment and animal cruelty. The u-pick area seemed rather small, but I love the concept. The food vendors is an excellent idea, but the food we had was absolutely disgusting and over-priced. The pretzel stand-a very eye-appealing stand that lured us over-well, the appeal stops there. We got a plain pretzel and a pizza pretzel for $20. Not 1 little piece of either pretzel was soft. We ended up throwing out the majority of both because they were rock hard and nasty. The corn on the cob that's roasted was another great concept, but the corn was soft and not very good. There were a few other fair type food vendors, and I feel that this is where some major improvements could easily happen for minimal cost and effort. There has to be some local food vendors that would setup there and sell their goods, which could in no way be any worse than what's already offered. In fact, I'm sure they would be much better and would also help local small businesses. The food was a huge disappointment, so attention should be paid to this part of their offerings. It seemed so commercialized and using local vendors would make it more unique, local, and I'm sure much tastier!!! I loved the open area, although it does get very dusty and dirty. It was nice to be able to get a can ($5) of a local beer to drink while we walked around (and also to chug after taking a bite of those awful pretzels). The Apple cider donuts were good; I just wish they were warm and fresh. The pumpkin setup in front of the store was beautifully done and had some good photo ops. We didn't go home with any canned goods because the store was a bit crowded, the workers weren't very helpful, and nobody had on masks. Apparently Covid hasn't hit the Prescott area , or maybe the farm area is like a Coronavirus free zone ‍. I just had to get some apple cider donuts since they are a rare find in the desert and this Midwestern girl craves those in the fall!! All in all, this is a good place that could very easily become a great place. By hiring a few more personable teenagers and improving the food experience-that would be a good start in the right direction. read more

"That was the biggest scam ever", said my daughter as we left. I couldn't agree more. Mortimer Farms should be ashamed of themselves for charging $24 admission for that pitiful experience. read more

I was just at this location this week. I enjoyed the grounds and plants. I wanted to buy some fudge and some canned foods but, when I walked in none of the staff was wearing masks. No other customers were wearing masks. I thought about ignoring it but no masks insinuates that no safety measures are in place in food prep. I didn't say anything as I don't know the response I might get back but know you lost business for ignoring safety measures. We came up from Phoenix and so do many others, I assure Covid will devastate your town with no safety measures in place. I know I'm on a task force for the State. It also tells me how you feel about our safety. Such a cute place, such a shame..I love buying local and supporting small businesses. Think on these things...Be safe. read more

I am so disappointed in our experience at the Sunflower dinner at Mortimer Farms on 9/9/2022. To start with, improved parking signage would be helpful. There are 2 signs for admissions from the main entrance, both in different directions. A sign at least for the barn would have guided us properly. Once the "train" brought us to dinner, the only thing we were initially told was to wait by the cocktail tables set up and we would then be sat. After that, there was absolutely zero communication from staff. People just began seating themselves, and because of that multiple groups had to move their own tables to be able to sit together. Which was another issue - we booked our four tickets together so we were properly accounted for seating wise, but heard others comment they didn't book together but took tables set up for larger groups. A note during the booking process to reserve all of your tickets together would possibly help this. Tables should also be marked as reserved by party name so seating is smoother. There was no announcement the first course was being served, and by the time my husband and I got to the front of the line there were only 2 salmon eggs left for him as he is allergic to avocado. I noted this in the allergies box upon reserving, along with the fact that our table of 4 (booked together) didn't eat bacon. We were advised there had been special eggs prepared but they were given away earlier. What sense does that make at all, to prepare a special dish and not separate it for those individuals? We also heard a staff member trying to track down someone who ordered a vegetarian dish, which would have been easy if you assigned tables from the beginning. Once dinner started I thought there would be explanations of each course, information given about the farm, the wine pairing...and we were given nothing. Staff were rude about being asked what a course was, insinuating there was a menu on the table. Even if we had the menu I expected to be given some information other than a plate shoved in my face. Going to a dinner like this we like to learn a little about the food being served and the farm presenting it. I am just somewhat shocked that not once did we feel welcome at dinner, but more as a bother trying to be fed and rushed back out. The meal itself was fine, but unfortunately we will not be returning after that experience. I thought it was important to give you this information to try to improve for future guests. The concept of this is great but the execution was extremely poor and ill planned. You need an event planner or coordinator there willing to talk and guide guests through this experience going forward. I first reached out to Mortimer Farms directly through email and Instagram to give them this feedback privately to give them a chance to make things right with at least acknowledging the event could have gone smoother. Mortimer Farms responded to this saying they had a sound system issue so they couldn't address guests. I'm unsure why that prevented ANY communications with guests as there were only about 30 people at dinner. They also offered no apology for the poor experience overall. I would have expected at least an apology for not accommodating the specific food requests that they themselves solicited. What an unfortunate service experience for what could be a great event. They also proceeded to block me on IG after the negative reviews stating nothing but facts and their response were publicly posted. What a nice family place. read more

Today 5/25/2024, my family and I (13 persons) decided to visit More Time Farm , my wife, myself and two of my grandchildren entered there, I surprised with the admission fees ($14.00) per person , I feel embarrassed, and I purchased 4 tickets , we were expecting to find some fresh products, unfortunately we didn't find any, even the strawberry in its season , but was like dead, even the displayed products in the shop they brought from out of the farm. so we became upset and disappointed , I was mad and talked to a lady in the front , who told me that she can't refund money , until another lady (Ms.Jo) came and I explained to her, she understood the point and agreed to refund the paid money , thanks for Ms. Jo, I promised her to put my review . read more

We drove over two hours to get here. The weather was very nice and the farm is pretty. I was shocked at the pricing though. No where online does it list the cost of admission, or anywhere as you wait to pay. We've been to other pumpkin patches and assumed it would be similar. It was $120 for a family of 5! Easily the most expensive compared to the others. I know these places need to make money but we didn't feel like it was worth it. Anyone over 2 years old is $24 and all rides in the park are included, food is extra and purchasing any produce is as well. The food selection is okay but the lines are long. Overall I wouldn't say it was an awful day but the place is overpriced and it was very crowded. read more

This place is very fun! It's a little pricy but totally awesome. There is one person that made our visit stand out SO much more, today. His name was Craig he was working at the mineral mining.

Mortimer Farms - Attraction Farms Near Me - Dewey, Arizona

Newly living in Dewey in Quailwood, going over to Mortimer Family Farms to look see and buy some cool stuff is a given . But this review is about one of the Mortimer family not the farm. A nice young man driving a tractor trailer passing me by, just a street away from my house when my pickup truck came undone from my cargo trailer. Being I'm a 73 year old Veteran and handicapped to boot, this truck driver was kind enough to stop his rig and help me out. I don't know what I would've or could've done had he not. He saved me. He told me his name was Mortimer but I don't remember his first name, but sincerely "thank you so very much". I can only say that you can't be that nice and not come from a wonderful family.

Too expensive, rather shop at Sprouts in PV! Buy salsa and hot sauce on line Amazon. No offense!

Horribly expensive! 25.00 just to get in the door. Very few pumpkins or squash. Everything was over priced. I used to come here in late 90s early 2000s when it was charming, lots of pumpkins and reasonably priced. read more
