Arrandale Farms

Practices

Arrandale Farms grows citrus and stone fruits year-round using sustainable and organic methods. Their focus on urban agriculture reflects a commitment to bringing fresh, locally grown produce to Phoenix. Community engagement is central to their approach, with efforts to connect visitors to the land and its bounty.

Offerings

The farm hosts limited U-Pick events during May and June, allowing visitors to harvest peaches, nectarines, and plums directly from the trees. While they no longer sell chicken eggs for retail due to rising feed costs in 2020, their offerings emphasize seasonal, sustainably grown fruits.

Visiting the Farm

Arrandale Farms provides farm stays for guests through Airbnb, offering a chance to experience rural life within Phoenix. Guided tours are available for visitors, though the farm does not host weddings or large gatherings. These experiences highlight the unique blend of urban living and agricultural connection.

Buying from Arrandale Farms

Direct sales to the public are limited to their U-Pick events. Outside of these periods, the farm does not offer retail produce for purchase. This model emphasizes a hands-on, seasonal connection to food, aligning with their mission to foster mindfulness and appreciation for local agriculture.
