What's On Our Hearts and Minds​

AZ SENIOR FMNP FARMER SPOTLIGHT - Reyes Farm

12/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Maria and Cristian Reyes recently started Reyes Farm on their land in Paulden. Their family is steeped in farming traditions — Maria’s father and mother, Ruben and Maria Hernandez, are steadfast produce and tamale vendors at farmers markets in Northern Arizona. They have enjoyed continuing to interact with their farmers market customers and offering new and unique products such as lemon cucumbers, tatsoi, and tiger melons.

We enjoyed being able to tuck their cherry tomatoes, peppers, and greens varieties into seniors’ produce bags. We’re grateful to Maria and Cristian for their support and trust as we both gain experience in the wholesale arena.

You can find their fresh produce at the
Prescott Farmers Market (winter hours Sat. 10am-1pm), Sedona Community Farmers Market et (winter hours Sun. 12-4pm), and Flagstaff Farmers Market.

Fernando, Margarita, Blanca, and the Aguiar family grow a large variety of crops year-round and chemical-free on their beautiful, lush farmstead in Paulden. The Aguiars of Aguiar Farms are a multi-generational family with immense farming knowledge, work ethic, and big hearts.

We’re thankful that they were able to provide storage friendly staples such as onions, potatoes, and winter squash for Senior FMNP participants.

You can find their produce weekly on Saturdays at P
rescott Farmers Market (winter hours 10am-1pm) and in the summertime at the Flagstaff Community Market. Local folks can order fresh produce and dried herbs through their online shop for farm pickup or no-contact delivery.
