Note: Full disclosure, I spent an amazing few years employed at Blue Sky Organic Farms

A family farm dedicated to hard work and growing the best quality produce possible in Litchfield Park since 1995. This 35-acre farm is certified organic, which in simple terms means the fields and growing practices meet strict federal standards and those standards are upheld through rigorous inspections by third-party inspectors and conducted under the strict purview of the Arizona Department of Agriculture and others. Being a certified organic grower is not just a business plan for Blue Sky, they truly believe and passionately pursue a world where clean, non-GMO, locally grown food is the norm. They care about the future health of their community as well as the viability of small American family farms, and they fight the good fight every day to find a working model to support their family and teach others how to do the same.

Blue Sky Farms specializes in growing a wide variety of vegetables and melons for local restaurants, distributors, Farmers' Markets, and their own farm stand and test kitchen. Here at Peddler's Son we distribute every item the farm produces and stock most items for next-day delivery. This is the premiere grower in the state, with soil and plant health at the farm better than they have ever been.

Owner David Vose's work experience extends from his work within some of the most professional kitchens scattered across the country to distributing for the finest small growers Northern California has to offer. All of which provided him with a unique perspective, while further complimenting his ability to grow specific items, under specific sizing constraints with the unparalleled quality and shelf life that both Arizona chefs and retailers have come to depend on.

If you are interested in checking out the farm there are several opportunities available. The first Sunday of every month during growing season is "Open Farm Day". Additionally, they do offer tours to individuals and groups - visit their website for further details and contact information  BlueSkyOrganicFarms.com.
