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.
