Agritopia Farm

Organic urban farm and gardens in the Agritopia community. The farm is located at 3000 E. Ray Road in Gilbert AZ and is in the heart of the Agritopia community.
(272)

Owned by the non-profit Johnston Family Foundation for Urban Agriculture, the The Farm at Agritopia is made up of several components demonstrating a model for urban agriculture. We offer a general tour of the farm on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 10am (meet at Agritopia Farm Store). The commercial farm is designed to flourish in an urban setting - instead of a huge field of one crop, you fin

d a patchwork of numerous specialty crops. All of the produce grown on the farm is grown under the USDA organic protocol. The produce, including a variety vegetables, citrus, and medjool dates, is sold at the Farm Store located on the west side of Barnone, as well as served at several restaurants on property including Joe's Farm Grill, Fire and Brimstone, The Uprooted kitchen and also at Liberty Market. We also hold a farmers market every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 5pm - 8pm at the Farm Store to highlight local vendors. The community garden is for individuals to participate directly in growing produce themselves. With over 40 plots, a community tool shed and lots of events, it is truly a community of gardeners. Plots are rented by the year and are 400SF, which can support up to three families. Be sure to contact us if your are interested in renting a plot. The public is welcome to wander through the gardens and see what the gardeners are growing. It is a great opportunity learn what grows seasonally in our area and to interact with gardeners. The biblical garden and public pathways are yet another perspective on urban farming and gardening. Our area is very similar in climate to the Middle East. The biblical garden is a demonstration garden of plants mentioned in the Bible. You’ll find placards that identify the plants. It also is an area for resting and relaxing with built-in seat walls. The public pathways are lined with table grapes, including grape arbors. Feel free to wander through the pathways and biblical garden, enjoying the beauty of the area while learning more about local plant life. Given the beauty of the farm, it is a natural place for people to take photos. Feel free to do so for personal use, staying within the public areas (don’t enter the fields, please). Photographers that are being compensated are expected to pay a site fee to the non-profit, which helps defray the cost of maintaining the property. The site fee is paid on-line.

Happy Father’s Day!

Here’s a throwback for you about the history of Agritopia Farm: In 1960 the farm was purchased by a young farmer, Jim Johnston and his wife Virginia.

Shortly after, they built a home on the farm to raise their 3 boys - Joe, Steve and Paul. The farm grew pima cotton, durum wheat for pasta, barley, field corn, sugar beets, milo and alfalfa.

In order to preserve the land that they cherished, the Johnston family created a community where the farm could remain at the heart of everything. Which is Agritopia Farm as you know it today!

Dropping Saturday: Dream Date, a date shake IPA.

Every Arizonan knows the Date Shakes of Dateland—they’re world-famous, after all. Made with Medjool dates and vanilla ice cream, the shakes have been served to travelers on the I-8 since the 1920s.

Taking inspiration from that classic dessert, we brewed this version of our beloved Dreamsicle IPA with Medjool dates grown on Agritopia Farm. Additions of milk sugar and vanilla mimic the rich sweetness of the shake, while Sabro, Talus, and Mosaic hops lend notes of coconut and stone fruit. It’s the most unique Dreamsicle variant yet.

Dream Date will be in 4-packs and on draft starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 24 at the Gilbert taproom and 11 a.m. at the DTPHX beer garden. There are no limits on how many cans you can take home. A special brunch menu featuring Base Layer Burritos, Chicken & Waffles with date syrup, and bacon-wrapped dates will be available at the Gilbert location from 9-11 a.m.

A gorgeous morning captured in the orchard while pollinating the dates. Our other pollinating friends 🐝 were humming around and busy yesterday too.

Thank you FOX 10 Phoenix for coming out yesterday and visiting with our amazing Liberty Market volunteers!

Thank you to everyone who helped us fill up this field with brassicas yesterday. 💚

More date harvesting this week! If you’d like to volunteer Thursday and Friday let us know. Email our volunteer coordinator at [email protected] for more information.

Medjool dates are here and they are super fresh and amazingly delicious. This recipe for date bites packs up so well for lunches or snacks on the go. Make sure to book mark and save this one for later. 2 cups dates chopped and smashed. 1/2 cup sun butter or other nut butter. 1/4 cup chopped nuts. 1/4 cup shredded coconut Pinch of salt Smash all ingredients together. Form into small balls about 2 tablespoons worth of mixture. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. Sprinkle with more sea sea salt and serve.

Today we start day 2 of date harvesting. Harvesting dates is a long, arduous process. Not to mention before harvest where we bag the dates and trim the trees. But if you’ve ever tasted a local Medjool date you understand how the entire scenario is so worth it!

Tomorrow begins our first day of date harvesting! Everyone has been waiting for dates. 😀 If you’d like to join us we have some volunteer spaces left. Some of our date tasks are indoors, some are outdoors. For more information please contact our volunteer coordinator at [email protected].

Arugula is a fantastic summer green that can offer a quick snap of spicy bite to your dish. We love to use it for a quick pesto to use in sandwiches, stir it into soup, and top a baked potato. 2 cups arugula 1 clove garlic 1/2 - 2/3 cup @queencreekolivemillolive oil 1/4 cup walnuts 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese @seesalttaste Sea Salt to taste Start with some arugula and olive oil in high speed blender. Start it blending then add in more arugula, and oil. Slowly add other ingredients adding the olive oil slowly to keep the mixture blending smoothly. Taste for saltiness and add more or less as needed.

Never NOT weeding.

This is still one of our favorite ways to enjoy the bounty of zucchini. Zucchini Noodles 2 whole Zucchini 1 Tablespoon Butter 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil 2 cloves Garlic, Minced 3 whole Roma Tomatoes (or any fresh tomato. We have lots of fresh ones!), Diced 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan 3 whole Basil Leaves (chiffonade) Salt And Pepper, to taste Use a vegetable peeler, or vegetable spiralizer to make any size noodles you like out of the zucchini. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and heat the butter and olive oil. Add the garlic to the pan and then the tomatoes. Quick for a few minutes to soften. Add zucchini and toss around in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle in salt and pepper. Add Parmesan off the heat. Serve within a few minutes, before the zucchini gets too soft!

Say hello to Bitsy! She’s not new to the farm, but she is our new volunteer coordinator. She’s here to help you learn some fun new skills and connect with the community here on the farm. Email her if you have any questions or would like to come and volunteer. We have lots of great opportunities coming up [email protected].

Anyone else ready for a cocktail? Here’s one of our favorites from @iconiccocktailco Kentucky Buck via Iconic Cocktail 2oz Whiskey 1oz Ginga Syrup 4oz Fresh Lemon Juice Combine ingredients in a shaker. Shake with ice, pour over ice, top with sparkling water and garnish with a lemon wedge. Find @iconiccocktailco Ginga Syrup and others in the Farm Store. Open 7am-7pm daily.

The okra is loving the heat! We have been frying it as a side with our burgers, pickling, and roasting with garlic. What is your favorite way to enjoy okra?

We love volunteer days! It's great to have the help (especially during big harvests like this one), but it's also great to meet more of our community. Meeting others who are interested in our local food system makes us happy 😃 For more information about our upcoming volunteer opportunities check out our volunteer page on our website to sign up. https://agritopiafarm.com/volunteer

Thank you so much to the volunteer crew from Zovio for coming out and helping us get the new outdoor Farm Hands classroom ready for the fall.

Happy Earth Day! Our friends @zoviosolutions volunteer crew came out to help us on this gorgeous day to get our new Farm Hands school to farm program ready for the fall. We can’t wait to share how we plan to teach young kids about our food system in AZ and the importance of our environment.
