Udder Delights

From gourmet farm-to-table dinners to fresh-churned treats, Superstition Farm is a moo-ving experience

Kick up your hooves at Superstition Farm, a working dairy in far east Mesa offering a variety of farm-tastic fun. Bring the kiddies for a tour featuring a super-clean petting zoo, hay mazes and hay rides, as well as a fresh-squeezed milk bar. Big kids, meanwhile, will melt for the handcrafted butters, creams and ice creams from the farm’s award-winning Udder Delights dessert boutique.

However, we’re most intrigued by the new Chef Du MOO farm-to-table dinner series. Hosted the second Saturday of every month through June, Superstition Farm is working with fellow local farmers such as Desert Root Farm who will supply seasonal greens, veggies and fruit, as well as eggs from Hickman’s Family Farms and proteins from The Meat Shop. Starting with a 5:30 pm cocktail reception, this Saturday’s four-course dinner is prepared by Romeo’s Euro Café in Gilbert and costs $65 per person or $80 with wine pairings. Menus are subject to the whims of Mother Nature, but this preview has our mouths a’watering—smoked ham cheesecake and red chard-wrapped garlic flan, anyone?
