9th Annual Garlic Festival

Make plans to visit us at our 9th annual Garlic Festival!

Tuesday, February 13, 2018

The time has come for us to consider moving on into another chapter of our lives. It has been a beautiful experience having had the opportunity to be the stewards of this wonderful place for the past 20 years. We have endeavored to give as much care and love to the land as we have received from it and wish to now pass on this legacy to the new stewards whomever they may be. We would like to thank all the wonderful folks that have contributed in making our farm what it is today. Our faithful customers without whom none of this would have been possible for you helped us pay the expenses here, our family members, friends and guest workers who worked on the farm over the years to help keep this place a viable and sustainable resource to our community. We cherish all of you and your positive impute is held upon the land and infrastructure here. From our hearts, thank you all so much! To view the listing for the sale of the farm please visit Scott Company Realtors located in Benson,AZ.

Beautiful Arizona Sunset

This is one of our recent Arizona sunsets. We have amazing sunrises and sunsets like this one on a regular basis and our full moons will blow you away!

Don't let our notorious hot summers diswade you from visiting during those months, with a little shade and a slight breeze it's actually pretty comfortable. The summer evenings usually cool down quite nicely as well.

Farm Guest Worker Field Trip

Our current guest workers Toni and Lexie from Minnesota hanging out with the local law enforcers of wild west town (To Tough To Die) Tombstone, AZ.

Good thing they are law abiden upstanding folks, otherwise they could have ended up in the jailhouse, lol!

We try to make an effort to take our guest workers on field trips during their stay with us. This particular trip includes a day long adventure through old "ghost towns" and the tourists destinations of Tombstone and Bisbee, AZ.

Amaranth Harvest Party

Our Amaranth harvest party on Aug. 2nd was a huge success. Not only did we get alot of wild Amaranth harvested but we also got all of our veggies harvested in record time. We had a nice family of five join us from the Tucson,AZ. area as well as a few local folks that live near our farm. We were also blessed by recieving help from a group of African refugees coordinated by Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting Network in Tucson,AZ. www.fruitmappers.org All together we had about 35 people helping out with 20 of those being the African group. After the work was done we all had a fantastic meal that was prepared by a professional chief (Kishor) that was part of the African group. Kishor and some helpers literally took over our kitchen and cooked up a storm preparing all sorts of delicious dishes. It was a real treat to have this great help in the kitchen for we generally do all the cooking for these events. Our sincere thanks go out to all who helped us with the harvest, it was a very special event. Please see pictures below.
