Let's get to know more about Maya Daily. How did you end up farming? Serendipity/passion/and the desire to keep food production in the hands of the many.
The Farm is best known for: Quality, flavor, food diversity and our great tasting produce! Our community efforts to organize and educate Arizona about the importance of keeping our food production close to home and how that translates to our economic health, our nutritional health and how food can help build healthy communities!
What do you look forward to growing the most every year? It changes with each season. In the summer I love melons. In Winter it's Toscano kale, carrots and beets. I love Spring flowers. All are specialty varieties that you do not find in the grocery stores and are so much more flavorful.
