Steadfast Farm

In addition to their CSA, Steadfast Farm is a part of farmers markets in the region, and a supplier for many local restaurants. The farm itself is bio-intensive, located on two acres in Mesa. Fruit, vegetables, eggs and flowers are available at the farm stand, through their CSA, and in Gilbert, Uptown and Downtown Phoenix Farmers Markets.

Flower season is October through June.

Summer hours are Wednesdays from 4:00pm-7:00pm and Saturdays from 8:00am-2:00pm.

AZ Fine Swine

This Mangalitsa farm is a family affair; Perry and Brenda Hunsaker co-own AZ Fine Swine with Brenda's parents Billy and and Nora Maynard. The attention to detail in raising Mangalitsa pigs (and as Arizona's only Mangalitsa breeder), is the crux of the farm's vision. The pigs are raised on a special diet and are hormone and antibiotic free. This ensures the rich, tasty and high quality pork that is produced.
