One would not expect to find such a sanctuary growing in the heart of Urban Phoenix, but why not? Transforming a residential landscape into an edible delight is the inspiration behind the Urban Farm. Sink your teeth into a juicy pear, add some fresh basil to your favorite dish or sauté some seasonal vegetables; all found within your arms reach right in our yard. The Urban Farm not only awakens the possibility to reconnect with the earth and agriculture in simple, practical ways, but it also nourishes the promise of a future that will sustain life for years to come. |

From a practical standpoint the Urban Farm is a 1/3rd acre in north central Phoenix a mere 80 feet wide and 160 feet deep. I purchased my home in 1989, primarily to garden and have spent the last decade transforming the landscape to edible. Then in 2001 because of my undergraduate work at Arizona State University I shifted gears and began including many other green technologies on the site such as solar panels, green remodeling & building, rainwater and greywater harvesting. The same year The Urban Farm was born and I began opening up the yard to tours and classes to teach others about urban green living. The Urban Farm has always been my hobby - I tell people it is a hobby gone wild. |
