The Farm to Market Video Series is going to be featuring every farmer that is a part of the Gilbert Farmers Market, so stay tuned! The main focus of these videos is so you can see WHERE & HOW the vegetables you purchase at the Market is grown...among other things! 

We started this week on the farm at Desert Roots Farm in Queen Creek, Az!

We were able to see almost every step of the process that Desert Roots Farm goes thru to produce their Local, Organic Vegetables for their CSA as well as the lucky customers at the Gilbert Farmers Market!
The tractor planting Kale Seed... Was amazing to see this! 

We saw every growing stage of many vegetables including Lettuces, Kale, Beets, Herbs, Broccoli, Turnips, Fennel, Carrots, Peas, Kohlrabi, Cabbage, Radishes, Arugula, Mizuna, Bok Choy, Spinich & More!

Bees hard at work... Was beautiful to see every step of the process!
