Agritopia Farm

We stopped by not knowing this was open to walk through! Absolutely great for little ones to run and see various flower and vegetables. It was wonderful to see how the community is able to grow and flourish - literally!

I bought a produce box for 42 dollars (2 heads Romain, 2 tiny bags sugar snap peas <9 peas each>, 2 bunches Swiss chard<one yellow and one red stem>, 2 bunches green onions, 8 carrots, 2 clam shells mint, 4 smallish sweet potato, 5 daikon radishes.) The carrots were broken and the pieces missing! If you're going to snap my carrots... at least include the other half! Romain was wilting on day 2 (no picture since I tore it up and soaked it in ice water hoping to bring it to life.). Green onions were flowering and fairly bland and slimy. The snap peas were near inedible: bland, yellowing, scarred and limp and harvested when they were overgrown, not tender sweet "baby". The Swiss chard has almost definitely been sitting around for days with its stems tough and browned. The radish greens (I usually cook up) look beat to hell (yellowed and bug eaten)...and may just go to the compost. I haven't tried the sweet potato, but they look well enough. And the mint is well.... but mint grows like a weed in my own yard. Also... this is supposed to be enough for 5 people? Perhaps I eat a lot of greens but this will be enough for 2 people in my house for maybe 5 days. I'm so thankful I bought the one box to try them out before I committed to more. On the plus side I picked up at Wild Harvest Bread Company and found a gem. Super disappointed in Agritopia though. I'll stick with schnepf, azure standard, some organic food from Frys and Produce on Wheels. I wanted to support local but I should have been warned this food wasn't fresh, and has been handled roughly. It's more of a "seconds quality".... like a misfits market at a higher price AND I had to drive 30 minutes to their closest drop while misfits is delivered to my door. Sorry! (Edited to add photos... you decide.... is this worth 42 bucks and a 30 minute drive?)

We recently went to Agritopia Farm for peach picking and had a wonderful experience! The farm is beautiful and well-kept, with rows of peach trees full of ripe, juicy fruit.

My boyfriend and I came here for a cute day date. We got a sandwich and tea at the coffee shop, very good food and prices. Then we walked around the gardens and saw the chickens then visited the farm store. We had a lot of fun enjoying the beautiful weather

This was such a delight to have run across. Beautiful garden that supplies food to a restaurant for fresh eating. Pretty spot for photosas well.

Stopped by during our fall break to check out the free farm tour! We had a blast and learned so much, our tour guide was amazing and was so knowledgable! We got the in season dates and we could not believe that they were the best dates we've EVER tasted ( which is saying a lot as I lived in the middle east where dates are a huge deal) we will be very sad when we run out. Make a day and enjoy this lovely farm.

Visited to buy peaches on one occasion and peach leaves on another. I discovered that they would rather let their peaches rot on the ground in waste than let a distributor pick up bulk amounts for a discount ($500 for 100lbs of peaches and we picked them). I was told I could purchase peach leaves for a reasonable price when we bought the peaches. Today I came back to purchase leaves. Called and emailed multiple times with no answer. Their voicemail said to just come in to talk. I came in to talk at 4pm after traveling an hour and was told I could not have peach leaves and to go to schnepf farms (another hour away). Agritopia is a showcase farm only, they do not offer actual farm services, they only care about making money off their shops while showing a “farm like” ambiance. Below you can see they would rather let their peaches rot than be bought by locals.

Full moon evening. Kind of a romantic environment. Family friendly. Spacious grounds. Coffee shop.

I love the Agritopia Farm Store! It's a great spot to visit while at Agritopia, featuring lots of local goods from trinkets, stickers, t-shirts, toys, books, food items and they even have a refillery section for some selfcare products. I often visit them for gifts or when I have visitors in town to get a nice line up of local Phoenix/Arizona artisan offerings. It's not big by any means, but they pack a lot of quality items into it's small footprint. They've evolved a lot of the years from a honor type system with smaller offerings, to a staffed and larger selection of goods. They are consistently open, which is great because a lot of the store in Agritopia are hit or miss, and the Farm Store never lets me down! Their prices do to be expected for such a curated store, but not much more than what equivalent items would be priced. It's a great stop if you're looking for a souvenir, gift, want to treat yourself or just want to support local!

I love Agritopia Farm Store! The Farm Store is the Agritopia shop for local gifts and goods. It is open daily and is located west of the Barnone Quonset building. Their Certified Organic, freshly harvested produce is available in the store, based on the season. The items are carefully curated from around the Valley and the state. The store offers gifts, keepsakes, food, homegoods, and so much more. My first visit was back in May when I was in search of a birthday present for my sister who lives in another state. I decided to get her a basket filled with local items. I've walked past Agritopia Farm Store before and had read about it online, so I thought I'd stop in to see if anything fit my vision. I ended up getting 80% of the gift basket contents from the Farm Store! I bought my sister Agritopia Farm honey, skincare products, snacks, and more. Then I added a few canned wines from Garage East next door. Needless to say, my sister loved the gift and I felt great supporting local. I've been back many times since, usually to pick up my favorite sourdough from Noble bread on the weekends or just to browse. I'm always looking for an excuse to pop in!

I've been wanting to write about my visit to Agritopia a few weeks ago because I haven't stopped thinking about it! It is such a great store with many local produce from the farm nearby and local makers and producers! They have a lot of cute gifting ideas for anyone in your life: notebooks, produce-themed hair clips and accessories, children's toys, cookbooks, and various spices, sauces, and salts. The ultimate dream is to shop exclusively farmer's markets for produce, but here is also a great option. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area! They have a lot of parking on the east side of the store, and it's not too far of a walk from the Tyler apartments.

A great place to purchase local products. Wonderful selection. I plan on returning to buy Christmas gifts for family living elsewhere.
