When we were planning our grand adventure, I discovered a number of accommodation options for RVers. Tonight we are staying at our first Harvest Host location, a working 300 acre farm about half way between Phoenix and the Grand Canyon. Other Harvest Host locations include wineries, historic properties and roadside cafés across North America.
We are essentially boondocking for free in the parking lot of Mortimer farms, which also has a bakery, café, kids play area and country store selling meat, preserves, wine, and seasonal vegetables. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming!
For lunch we had sandwiches on steaming freshly baked buns, and finished 
with fresh tasty pastries. I picked up both grass fed and grain finished rib eye steak, and am really looking forward to comparing them at our next official campsite in Williams, Arizona.
In fine-tuning our itinerary, we now ensure we consider Harvest Host locations, especially since plugging into shore power isn’t a requirement. Yeah solar!
Another great addition to our overlandish odyssey. Cheers!
