The State of Arizona Farmland Film

The Arizona landscape was once a sprawling view of farmland and ranches; however, as residential and business developments continue to expand at alarming rates, Arizona farmland is quickly vanishing.

Meet husband-and-wife team, Sara Dolan and David Vose, farmers who have been farming since 1995. Their farm, Blue Sky Organic Farms, supplies fresh, organically grown produce to farmers markets, Valley residents, food banks, and schools.

Kate Radosevic, Friends of the Farm Coordinator at Arizona Food Bank Network, and member of the Arizona Farmland Coalition discusses how the loss of this farm and the implications of our dwindling farmland can impact and weaken Arizona’s local food system, as well as what is being done and what you can do to safeguard our local farms.
