March is National Nutrition and Fresh Celery Month. We’re all about celery and nutrition since we grow plenty of this crisp veggie and a rainbow of colorful vegetables year around. Arizona plants and harvests every month of the year!

Arizona agriculture uses the latest technology to conserve and manage our water including drip, basin, pivot and siphon tube irrigation. Our long-term water efficiency ranks top tier compared to other parts of the country.

You should add pork to your menu this week. Several cuts of pork are 16% leaner today than in the past. Today, Arizona pork is a $40 to $50 million industry in our state.
