Wild Oak Farm is at 26560 S. Old Sonoita Hwy, Sonoita, AZ 85637 — about an hour from Tucson, and ten minutes from the Sonoita wineries.
Farm visits are by event or reservation: book a farm tour or a goat hike for a Sunday morning, come out for a harvest dinner, or stay the night and wake to the roosters. Our farm stand is at the Sonoita Farmers' Market (3174 AZ-83), every Saturday from 9am to noon.
And everything worth the drive from here — where to eat, where to walk, what to do with an afternoon. Hours are checked where we say so; where we do not, call ahead.
Summer here runs hot and the monsoon runs into early fall — for anything outdoors, go early or plan for shade.
Restaurants
