We offer Certified Naturally-Grown produce shares from Crooked Sky Farms. The produce is in fact beyond organic: it is more organic than certified-organic! No chemical pesticides and fertilizers are used ever.
Crooked Sky Farms owner Farmer Frank Martin is an experienced farmer who is an ardent believer in and practitioner of sustainable land stewardship, fair wages and treatment of his workers, and preservation of heirloom varieties.
Crooked Sky Farms owns and leases land in Glendale, South Phoenix and Duncan. The location of the fields in these various locations and elevations allows for great produce diversity and year-round production.

Wheat berries milling: Crooked Sky Farms grows their own wheat and we periodically get it in our shares. Wheat berries can be eaten whole and they can also be ground into flour. This freshly ground locally grown organic wheat is quite a treat and you can stone-grind your wheat berries yourself with the CSA wheat mill. The mill will be available in the courtyard on the last week of every month and whenever we get wheat berries in our shares.
Also, for a $1 per bag charge, we will clean, winnow and grind your wheat berries. Just drop off your wheat berries at the front desk and pick up your flour the following week.
