We are already sold out of apricots and figs for this year. Home made mesquite butter, salsa, pickles, bean dip and ketchup, all made with products from the farm, along with our heirloom vegetables grown from Native Seed Search seed stock, are hot sellers at the new Arivaca Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 to 12.
Now is the time to be picking mesquite pods. Bring your commercial quantity of mesquite pods to us. We'll mill them on a percentage basis.
Infrastructure buldings made of cob and bamboo are under construction, rain water catchments are always underway, large scale composting and farming chores are ongoing; all offer excellent opportunities for education through tours and internships. Workshops will be on the agenda soon. Tours and internships can be scheduled year 'round.
