Ahwatukee families looking for dazzling Christmas displays can choose this month between two East Valley venues that unintentionally are competing as the brightest in Arizona this season.
But this food-focused “geotour” is new. Launched in early December, it s a socially distant activity concentrated in the east Valley. Stops include multiple farms Steadfast Farms, True Garden Urban Farm, Vertuccio Farm, Agritopia, Schnepf Farms, and Queen Creek Olive Mill (those last two actually offer two geocaches). The food hall Barnone (also at Agritopia) and restaurant Jalapeno Bucks BBQ are also part of the tour.
Participants can collect limited-edition stickers along the trail, and those who hit all 10 geocaches will get three prizes: a Fresh Foodie Trail recipe booklet, a branded wooden spoon from Visit Mesa, and a mysterious-sounding digital souvenir from Geocaching.com.
