Our goal at Phoenix Farms is to assist your in
creating a sustainable vegetable garden.
Raising your own food in the Sonoran Desert may be challenging, but it can
be done. Our gardening coaches will help you through the entire
process.
The main reason people say it's hard to grow vegetables in Phoenix and the surrounding valley is because they moved to this area with preconceived ideas about growing plants.
Our climate is opposite of that found in most of the rest of the country. Our Summer is a dormant time for many plants - a hot and dry 'winter.' During Winter, our two coldest months are comparatively mild, generally bringing a little frost and only a few freezing nights.
Once you adjust to our seasons, soil, heat, cold and light, you can have a successful vegetable garden.

Our four seasons in the Phoenix area each present challenges and opportunities for the
vegetable gardener.
Fall, Winter and Spring are our major planting and growing seasons.
Summer is too hot for most vegetables, but some plants thrive in the heat.
Knowing what to plant and when is key to your success.
