I love going here, and over the years I can say I am never disappointed. Some reviews complained about the corn being smaller this year. The ears were smaller but that happens, depending on weather conditions, etc. Regardless the corn was still just as sweet, and delicious as always!! We picked up a large watermelon too! The watermelon was also sooo juicy, and flavorful that it didn't last long in the fridge. Go support this awesome family owned farm.

The cornfield ready for harvest is only accessible via the little train. We'll try the corn harvest again next year. We ordered food and drink and ate it out in the shade of the patio. The grandma's homemade pie was raw on the bottom. The rest of the pie was delicious, though! The sourdough peanut butter & strawberry jelly sandwich really hit the spot after walking all the way out and back to/from the cornfield in the warm sunshine. We bought frozen meat and frozen dessert pies to stock our home freezer. Mortimer Farms is a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors.

The nice guy on the other end explained that the meat was in freezers, in the back of the saddle shop, which was next door to the print shop. My first suggestion for Lazy 5S: create a big sign saying something like, "LAZY 5S MEATS INSIDE!" - otherwise I would never have found it with GPS alone. I bought a huge tenderloin, and I have to say it was the juiciest, tastiest filet mignon I had ever experienced in my life. Amazing! Unfortunately for me, I live in Brooklyn NY - but the moment Lazy 5S becomes available the way Omaha Steaks are [they're just "OK"] - I will be first in line to order!

I am so grateful to have found the highest quality meat I've ever eaten. I'm battling a…read moredebilitating auto immune condition and am using beef, tallow, and bone broth therapeutically. This is the highest quality grass fed beef I could find in the area. Apparently quality matters because with no change in my diet protocol other than the source of meat, I had significant improvement after just one week of eating it daily. It's the first time since I got hit with this condition that I've had any improvement at all so this is huge. I bought a quarter of a cow and picked it up at the ranch. After seeing the lush green pastures that the cows graze on and the cleanliness of the operation, including supplementation and even how the cows are treated, it all made sense. This is not just dinner, it's therapy. Since then, I have continued to improve and honestly believe that this highly nutritious beef is the foundation for my healing. It's not only the highest quality, but it's also the best tasting beef I've ever had. I have so much gratitude for the integrity and the heart that goes in to this beef...worth every penny.

We got to feed the giraffes which I thought was super cool. Def worth the stop!

Pro-tip: If you come on your birthday month, it's only $12 for admission which is substantial savings! I booked the expedition tour which included the general admission, Super Mog tour, and a chance to feed a tiger. The Super Mog tour is an hour long ride in an all terrain open-aired truck. You have to be at least 5yo and able to climb up the steps to get into the vehicle. They offer 2 times, 11AM or 2PM. Because it was June, I opted for the 11AM tour bc of the heat. Even though there was no AC, it was fully shaded and we didn't feel too hot. Our tour guide Robby was incredible and gave each of us a small stalk of willow-like leaves to feed the giraffes. We had the option to feed them from our hands or if we're brave, our mouths! We started off on the super mog tour visiting some apex predators like their mountain lion, hyena, grizzly bear and Robby would tell their stories and also do a live feeding. We also drove past their rhino, lions, zebras and much more. Then we got to feed the giraffes as they walked up to our vehicle. It definitely had more of a natural feel vs a zoo. Then we got some snacks, walked around for a little bit to see their smaller mammals (sloth, lemurs, marmoset) and reptiles. Lastly, we attended the tiger splash show. It was as adorable show watching the tigers play with their trainers using various toys, balloons, and meat. After the show, we got to feed a tiger through a special feeding tube and you can also request a picture with the lion. Out of Africa is also know for their popular predator zip lines where you have views of the animals and the Verde Valley. We didn't do this bc my kiddo is still quite young. We got the chance to run into the owner Prayeri who described how many of the animals were raised at a young age or rescued. There is a strong emphasis on the human-animal bond and trust at this park. Love that mission and much love to all the animals!

It is such a huge winery/ranch that has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating plus animals and garden spaces. If we could've stayed here for 2 hours, we would have but unfortunately I think we were only here for a little less than 1 hour due to the drive and the other wineries we visited. The garden spaces were luxurious with a lake and a path to walk. The animals were so cute. There were sheep and a very friendly donkey among them. The wine was, of course, tasty and we enjoyed the fact that there was a small food truck on site that had other items for purchase. My friends and I had a really nice time here just exploring, relaxing and being together.
