Double Check Ranch at the Walking J Farm

Amado, Arizona

Here’s one to add to your shopping list on March 27 – fresh, natural, locally grown and grass fed beef.  See where your food is grown!  Go directly to the source!  The Walking J Farm (a member of Arizona’s Double Check Ranch family) is located in Amado, just an hour south of Tucson. 

Join us for this perfect afternoon with the cattle in the pasture, the chickens in their “tractors” and a rapidly expanding garden – all at the Walking J Farm.  Think Polyface (Sonoran Desert style).  If you don’t know what that is, then join the tour and we’ll show you how our methods mirror those chronicled in Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma. 

Host Jim McManus, owner of the Walking J Farm, will lead a walking tour, with food sampling and a raffle for a registered guest to take home a basket of Double Check Ranch products (value $25).

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED.  TOUR FEE $10.  Reservation Deadline:  March 24, 2010.
