Next to the neighborhood, date palms flutter in the breeze, citrus groves stretch to the horizon, and residents eye fresh produce to see what’s ripe for picking. It’s clear—farming is the backbone of Agritopia. In fact, in 2015 the Johnston family created The Johnston Family Foundation of Urban Agriculture as a way to educate people on urban farming and celebrate the agricultural tradition.

At The Farm, more than 11 of Agritopia’s 160 acres are certified organic farmland. Think artichokes and zucchini. Think honey and peaches. Think olives, tomatoes, carrots, kale, even grapevines. Stroll the pathways that line The Farm, then savor the bounty at Agritopia’s restaurants or on the menus of chef-run restaurants throughout Greater Phoenix.
