We plant Arizona-adapted cactus varieties chosen specifically for their nutritional value, water efficiency, and cultural significance.

Opuntia ficus-indica (Elephant Ear Cactus):

Nutritious, water-efficient pads ideal for community nutrition and environmental resilience.

Opuntia violacea 'Santa Rita':

Distinct purple pads, ornamental beauty, and excellent for drought conditions.

Cactus fruits (Tunas):

Antioxidant-rich fruits harvested for community distribution and food banks.

Our farm thrives through community involvement and the collective efforts of dedicated volunteers.
