About Us

Luna de Sonora

At Luna de Sonora Farm we grow garlic, medicinal herbs, and flowers for local sale. Our farm is located on 15 acres of leased county land in the town of Three Points, AZ west of Tucson.

Farming in the Sonoran Desert

In 2024 we grew 1,000 pounds of garlic on half an acre. This crop was distributed to food insecure families through the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, our primary market. We also grow green onions, cilantro, beets, saffron, and calendula. We are thankful to Pivot Produce and the Garden Kitchen for their continued support as partnering produce distributors.

As BIPOC farmers we believe everyone deserves the right to real food. Our team is made of Black, Latino and Tohono O’odham farmers, working together to cultivate food and healing plants in the desert.

Luna de Sonora Farm strives to be a prominent provider of regionally adapted and culturally relevant food and medicinal herbs for Southern Arizona and beyond. In a region dominated by large-scale, industrial agriculture we aspire to be an alternative model of arid-land food production.

Land Stewardship

We prioritize low-water use, desert-adapted crops and use organic growing practices to promote soil health and habitat biodiversity. We use locally-sourced chicken manure for fertilizer. Our crop seeds are saved and replanted. We grow native plant seeds for habitat restoration efforts with Borderlands Restoration Network and our farm is Certified Naturally Grown.

To improve soil health we grow cover crops such as oats in the winter and sorghum sudangrass in the summer. We also use traditional heirloom varieties of the Southwest like Apache Sweet Sorghum and O’odhum 60 Day Corn that can tolerate our high summer temperatures and infrequent rains.

Community

Our farm is a leading and founding member of the Sharing Opportunities with Infrastructure and Land (SOIL) Farm Project.

This is a collaborative land-based initiative where farmers operate independently but share resources to lower barriers to entry for new and underserved growers.

Located on 50 acres, this is a unique opportunity for farmers to access affordable farmland with water and shared resources such as a produce wash station, cold storage, walk-behind tractor, and high-tunnel.

We are proud to farm alongside ORO House and Sonoran Biosystems and look forward to working with future SOIL Farm growers.
