Maricopa Agricultural Center hosted its annual Fun Family Farm Day on Saturday. Residents of all ages experienced old skills like pumping water and milking a cow, but also climbed on new farming equipment and learned about agricultural science. There were also live animals and a tour of MAC’s facilities.
