Description:
Bean Tree Farm is a 20 acre saguaro/ ironwood forest farm & learning center, supplying local desert foods to the community in and around Tucson, Arizona. We harvest, care for and teach about Sonoran Desert food plants and herbs, resource conservation, solar energy, water harvesting, green building, permaculture and appropriate technology. Growing an innovative farm business and rich educational environment in our community since 1985, our mission and vision arise from a love of place, respect for the diverse cultures and traditions of this region, and the belief that what we do makes a difference- now and for the future.

Featured Recipe
Apple Date Butter
Place apples, dates, and cider in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add cinnamon, allspice, and lemon juice. Return the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should be thickened and the apples should be tender. Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Add the mixture to a food processor and blitz until smooth (3-5 minutes).
Store cooled mixture in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
