Update




Can you believe June starts tomorrow?



Sadly enough our season has come to an end. Our farm stand will close this weekend. We will be open all day Saturday and Sunday with the following produce available:


  • cabbage

  • garlic

  • carrots

  • squash (costata romanesco, zephyr, raven)

  • tomatoes

  • green onions

  • bulb onions

  • cucumbers

  • beets

  • fennel


Clark has been hired on as the head farmer at The Farm @ Agritopia in Gilbert. Agritopia is a housing development located at the northwest corner of Higley and Ray that has incorporated a farm into the development. He will be managing both Agritopia and Crooked Carrot farms as one. We haven't quite worked out how the farmstand at Crooked Carrot will fit into this yet. It is our desire, if practical, to reopen the stand in the fall.

For those of you who live close or are willing to make the drive, the Agritopia farm stand is currently open on Saturdays from 8:00 - 1:00. You can check out their website at:



Also please sign up for Agritopia's e-mail updates. Just send an e-mail to Gayle at gayle@agritopia.com.

We appreciate all our loyal customers this past year - we hope to see many of you at Agritopia. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions. We will keep you posted through our blog about what is going on at Crooked Carrot Farm.




Thank you~

Update


Wow - it has been a while since we have sent out a blog. We've been a busy family and farm. You may have noticed the continuining improvements to the front corner of our farm. We welcome Greene Nursery as they are a big help with out compost and other farm related items.

We are continuing to tweak our farm stand hours of operation. We want to provide safety for our honor system while also allowing for ease of access for you all. While we will be open at dawn today (Saturday), our hours are still 10 AM until 6 PM daily, closed Mondays.

If the box is open with the "CLOSED" sign in place please do not leave money. If need be you can swing by and pay again when the farm stand is open or you can send us a check to:

Crooked Carrot Farm
1541 S. Malabar Lane
Gilbert AZ 85296

Thanks for your patience. It is our intent to stay open until mid/late June.

Farm Stand Info
The farmstand is self-serve and open 10 AM until 6 PM, closed Monday. We make an effort to stock the stand most every morning so that you will have the freshest veggies and herbs. We round all our prices down to the nearest quarter to make things easier for you (and us) as we do not make change. Checks are accepted.


Thank you for supporting our farm stand and giving us the opportunity to farm!

Have a great second half of May.
