"Thank
you so much for such a wonderful day at the farm! The flowers were so beautiful, our daughter loved the Easter egg hunt,
and the food was FANTASTIC*! It was the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather this Easter. We'll
definitely be back in the fall for the pumpkins.Thank you again." - The Hudaks
Okay, folks, we may be a little biased, but we
believe that there is no place more beautiful in Southern Arizona than Agua Linda Farm in the spring. For years we have
been hosting an Easter celebration for our family and friends and we have decided to let you in on the fun! Celebrate
Easter on our farm, only 30 minutes south of Tucson with Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic! Flowers are blooming, grass is green,
trees are sporting new, fresh leaves and, usually, there are baby animals waiting for a visit. We have put together
a wonderful package for you and scheduled the event on the Saturday before Easter (we are closed Easter Sunday). There
will be egg hunts, ponies to ride, animals to visit, you-pick veggies in the garden, scenic hayrides, face painting, lawn
games and, to top it off, we will put a lovely picnic lunch together in a basket for your family to enjoy (optional)! THIS
YEAR'S PACKAGE IS DIFFERENT THAN LAST YEAR'S, SO READ CAREFULLY!
Please
RSVP to this event (using form at the bottom of this page) as it is VERY helpful to have an idea of head-count. In that
same line of thinking - PLEASE NOTIFY US IF YOU WILL BE CANCELLING!

this year to charge an admission that includes most of the farm activities (see below) with the picnic and pony rides
priced separately. Read on for details.

Easter Egg Hunt Details
The

Don't forget
your basket (we will have extras for sale at check-in).
4 hunts are scheduled at 11, 12, 1, and 2:00 (another will
be added at 3:00 if we need to). You will receive your child's hunt time at check-in and an anouncement will be made
over a loud speaker for your group's turn. Advance hunt time reservations are not possible. Kids will gather a dozen eggs
in our private backyard which is green, grassy and lovely! (bring your camera!). Eggs are plastic candy or prize filled.
Hunt area will NOT be divided by age group (we like families to be able to stay together!).
