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.
