About Us
We are a family farm located in Paulden, Arizona, about 30 miles north of Prescott. We started selling produce door-to-door in 1995 when our large garden produced more food than our family could eat. We have grown every year since then and now have 15 acres in production, where we grow over 100 varieties of vegetables and flowers year round. Our fabulous crew of farmers allows us to plant and manage our wide array of crops. You can find our produce and flowers at farmers markets, in our CSA boxes, at our honor-system farm stand and throughout Arizona at natural food stores, restaurants and florists.
Practices
We do not use any synthetic fertilizer or chemical pesticides. We aim to create a farm ecosystem where the soil and biological communities are constantly improving. To achieve this goal we employ cover cropping, crop rotation, beneficial insects, crop diversity and many other strategies into our farming systems. We are constantly learning how to farm better in this challenging climate. Over twenty years on this farm and we are still learning constantly. We enjoy growing food for our community not only as a means of providing healthy sustenance, but also as a way to bring people together. We hope that by buying directly from the farmers who grow your food and flowers you will feel closer to the process and appreciate what seasonality and regionality really mean in the agricultural system.
