Visitor Center Corner

“The Whisker City Air Race” (A Mom’s Choice Award Winning Book) by local author J. M. Chrismer is now available in the Gift Gallery at The Marana Visitor Information Center!

Farming in Arizona has always meant facing challenges: water resources, shifting weather, and an ever-changing landscape. Since 1939, we’ve been part of Marana’s story, working the same land with a commitment to sustainable growth and supporting our community.


In the early days, we grew crops like cotton and alfalfa, always mindful of conserving water and caring for the land. In fact, we stopped pumping groundwater by converting to CAP water in the late 1990s, taking a leading role in water conservation before it became common practice.


Today, we grow heritage wheat varieties, such as White Sonora, with its deep history in the Southwest. These grains naturally need less water and thrive in desert soil. We mill the wheat on the farm, reducing food miles and allowing us to carefully oversee quality.


At the same time, we’ve embraced new farming methods. We grow functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Reishi in solar-powered, climate-controlled environments. These indoor farms use significantly less water, protect crops from extreme weather, and allow year-round harvests, demonstrating a sustainable path forward for future growers in the Southwest.


Farming today means more than just crops, it’s about finding ways to keep the land productive and support the community. Diversification is key, and we opened a paintball facility at our headquarters, creating a fun space for families and friends while helping sustain the farm.


Through changing seasons, markets, and growing communities, our values, sustainability, service, and stewardship, remain at the heart of all we do. After more than 86 years, we’re thankful for Marana’s continued support and proud to keep growing alongside the community that’s grown with us.

Beacon Group Celebrates 50 Years of Partnership with Jim Click Automotive, Honoring Decades of Disability Employment and Advocacy

 

(Tucson, Arizona – October 14, 2025)

 Beacon Group is proud to celebrate 50 years of partnership with Jim Click Automotive, recognizing a shared commitment to creating inclusive employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Southern Arizona.

 

In 1975, visionary business leader Jim Click partnered with Beacon Group to employ two car wash employees with disabilities at his dealership. What began as a small initiative grew into a model of inclusive employment that has transformed hundreds of Arizona lives for more than five decades.

 

Today, Jim Click Automotive employs more than 30 workers with disabilities across its dealerships. Over the past 50 years, Mr. Click has created employment opportunities for hundreds of people with disabilities, likely more than any other business in Southern Arizona.

Fuddles

Meet Fuddles, the scruffy little heartthrob who proves that small dogs can come with supersized charm. At just 6 pounds and 4 years old, this long-haired Chihuahua is the definition of “fun-sized.” Honestly, he’s so perfectly portable that you might forget he’s a dog and start treating him like your favorite accessory. And Fuddles won’t complain—he loves being toted around in a sac, like the stylish sidekick he was clearly born to be.



Adoption fee: $350. Neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Approved adoption application required.

Couscous

Meet Couscous, the little long-haired bundle of joy who looks like he just walked off a red carpet—if red carpets were sprinkled with confetti and snacks, of course. At 13 pounds of pure sunshine, this 2-year-old Chihuahua wears his signature smile so well, you’d swear he invented it. Life with Couscous is basically a daily reminder that happiness comes in small, fluffy packages.

Adoption fee: $350. Neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Approved adoption application required.
