Tucson Village Farm

We are so lucky to be living close to 80 acres of UA farm land and also ten minutes from UA campus, close to downtown, with Mountain Ave. bicycle lanes, casual walking for groceries and several locally-owned restaurants.

Yesterday we took advantage of the "rurban" lifestyle we have and went to the Tucson Village Farm at 4210 N. Campbell Ave., www.TucsonVillageFarm.org .  They had a fantastic family turnout for 4H and Village Farms food tastings, music, stiltmen, and food vendors.  Take a slow look at the photos Mark took and maybe next time you are out and about you will check out the Farm.  They have a Garden Kitchen Class Schedule which offers free drop-in classes www.TheGardenKitchen.org .  We had samples of freshly picked lettuce, kale, strawberries and blueberries and I admit I swooned over their veggie burger made with sweet potatoes and oats (photo included below).  It's a fun place to just savor on a cool day and give thanks for all we have to put on our tables and to enjoy in our community.
