Friday Food Facts

Both methods of farming, Arizona Organic and traditional farming are more alike than different. They both have well-established markets. They use approved crop protection and they feed us with an equal level of nutrition.

Arizona agriculture uses 70% of our water but 100% of Arizonans eat the food grown and raised by that water. We’ll always need water to grow healthy, local Arizona food for Arizona families.

Arizona has the most competitive grocery market in the U.S.  Good for our pocketbooks since Arizona also grows or raises every basic food item you find in our local grocery stores: Dairy, eggs, beef, pork, fresh fruits, and vegetables!

Happy New Year. Start the year out with a healthy focus by eating more Arizona pecans. Pecans are ranked number one among the family of nuts for naturally occurring antioxidants, considered valuable in disease prevention.

Yuma produces 90% of our leafy greens for the U.S. in the winter and they do it with efficient irrigation systems. Climate, labor, water, technology, and infrastructure mean Yuma production cannot be replicated anywhere else in the country during winter.
