Directions from Tucson:
1. Take I-10 West to Tangerine Rd Exit #240.
2. Go west (left) under the freeway continue straight on to Tangerine Farms Road (a newly constructed road)
3. Follow Tangerine Farms Road until you get to the intersection Gladden Farms Drive to your right and Heritage Park Drive to your left.
4. Turn south (left) – on the right you will see a large ramada, a small “Heritage House”, tan water tank and southwest style barn.
5. This is the Farm – pull into the parking lot between the barn and the house.
Note: We strongly suggest looking at the map on line – it is not difficult to find but due to construction it can be a little confusing the first time. Gladden Farms Drive/Heritage Park Drive/Lon Adams Rd is a big loop that is intersected by Tangerine Farms Road. Which means there are two entrances to Heritage Park Drive. At the first eastern entrance, there is a sign for the Park, baseball fields and a pocket park. If you took this road, continue past the blue silos and the Farm will be on your left.
