Check out this video with , AZ’s newest community garden founder (follow her for details if you’re in Maryvale).

Naomi always shows up with a wealth of knowledge for anyone to learn and apply.

Did you know you could propagate Fig trees? Propagating is taking a cutting of a plant or tree to regrow vs starting it from seed, just like you see here. We hope to spread this variety long and far at Healthy Roots Garden.

Join us for our next garden tasting and market gathering in February where we will be raffling off these fig cuttings to community for FREE.

More details coming soon.

Caught our Farm manager buzzing in his zone the other day out in the garden.

Fransico brings tons of laughter and smiles even with everything on his daily to do list. We don’t know where this space would be without your hard work, dedication and sacrifices you have made to show up everyday.

Supporting your local farms means supporting other farmers, Dads and husbands like Fransico.

Be on the look out for our next farm stand pop up in February! Come out and tour our market garden!

Stay tune.

Our goal yesterday was to bring some activation to our soon to be Ecotienda Space & we couldn’t be more satisfied with the amount of faces, smiles, laughs and stories we were able to share with all of our Neighbors here at the Benjamin Brooks Academy.

We were able to collect some great info and feedback to keep expanding more and being able to be a pillar of produce for this and the surrounding community.

If you missed it, no big deal. Here’s a recap & stay on the look out for our next one in February !

We are looking for local cottage vendors to add to our vegan inspired and friendly inventory. If you are interested or know someone specifically in the South Phoenix area, please connect us, we would love to learn more about supporting other producers in this space as well.

Taste what’s growing now.

Join us for a garden tasting featuring seasonal fruits and greens harvested fresh and prepared by a Culinary Institute of America trained chef.

Sample arugula, sour orange, and more while learning how these ingredients move from soil to shelf at the Ecotienda.

Come taste, connect, and discover fresh produce available right here in your neighborhood.

Hope to see you!

130 lbs of Marmalade Oranges harvested, today was a good day!!
It’s our interns last week and you both will be missed immensely! But we know it’s not the last we will see of y’all’s work! We couldn’t be more appreciative of all the creative knowledge that you have shared in this space.
