Araviapa Creekside Growers

We are a small-scale diversified farm growing a variety of produce, cut flowers and mushrooms. We began our journey into farming by volunteering at a friend’s farm and growing mushrooms in our small rental in the Tucson foothills. After deciding to diversify we expanded to our beautiful property located an hour north of Tucson in the Aravaipa Valley.

We are both first-generation farmers. Andrew’s interest in farming stems from his background as a chef, an industry he has been in since the age of 14. He loves blending his knowledge of cooking with the skill of growing food and experiencing the industry from both sides. Nicole is a massage therapist by trade and has always felt most comfortable working with her hands. Having a love for the natural world, farming has felt like a natural progression from body-work for her.

We love our Southern Arizona community and look forward to a bountiful future of growing together.
