Another question: anyone know of any small family farms which are open for agri-tourism in the Phoenix, AZ area?  My brother and his family live down there, and two of my three young nieces (ages 10, 8 and 6yrs) have birthdays this month.  I really really hate to just send them materialistic widgets that will be played with for three days then forgotten.  I'd rather buy them admission to something like a farm that does tours, "meet the livestock" and "harvest the carrots" type activities.  Or heck even buy them a family-level CSA share (not sure they even know what a CSA is but it's always a good time to do some education!).  Any ideas?  Thanks again.  Having no kids of our own, I feel compelled to share the farming life with that next generation in some ease-into-it way.
