We wash all of the veggies as soon as they
come out of the ground, then store them in our fridge
overnight and deliver them to you next-day.

After the veggies are washed and
bagged, they're moved into our walk-in
fridge for cooling before distribution.

Red & Golden Beets

OOPS!

Our sweet onions....so good!

Does this look like a hummingbird visiting
a flower to you?....sit in the sun for a few
hours and then stand on your head - then it will!
P.S. It's a funny looking beet...

Ramon is doing a little discing...

The veggie van...always on the go!

Ramon is moving a pallet of our
sweet onions into the barn for packing.

The healthiest sheep around...
they get lots of veggie leftovers to munch on.

Check out the new bridge that Bryan's
dad built for us...no more falling into the
canal and twisting our ankles --- Korin.

Yummy carrots waiting to be
divided up into our member's veggie bags.

Planted in October, ready for harvest

Weeding...it's constant, but a very important
part of raising strong, healthy veggies.

A bushel of fresh cut spinach.

Last summer's monsoon storms
caused a little damage to the Desert Roots
Farm greenhouse...so, Kelly makes a few minor
repairs before placing seedlings inside for
the spring.

Baby Kale...

We start our tomato plants early...in January...
in our greenhouse so that we can make the most
of our short Spring and get a few yummy tomatoes
to our members before the summer heat sets in.

Here are some of our tomato plants that
have just been taken out of the greenhouse
and set into the ground. It won't be long now
before our members are enjoying lots of
yummy, vine-ripened tomatoes.

Here is a glimpse of the delicious, red-ripe
tomatoes that our members enjoy during the late
spring and early summer months.

Okra is a favorite summer veggies of mine...
this Southern veggies is available during our
summer and fall seasons.

EGGPLANT!
We grow a number of small, striped and gourmet
varieties of eggplant.

WATERMELON!
We offer both red and sweet yellow watermelons
during the summer and fall seasons.
