Tempe CSA

Community Supported Agriculture is a subscription-based way to purchase local produce! All of Tempe CSA’s produce is grown by Farmer Frank Martin and crew at Crooked Sky Farms and is Certified Naturally Grown (« The Grassroots Alternative to Certified Organic ») without pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or other chemical inputs. We don’t deliver, rather you come to us once a week, pick up your share, have a chance to ask questions or get recipe recommendations, and also to swap out anything you don’t want and customize your share a little bit!

Established in 2005.
Crooked Sky Farms, located in Phoenix, is owned by Frank Martin. Farmer Frank had always dreamed of becoming a farmer after working closely with his father in the fields. Back then, chemicals were prized in farming and not known to be harmful. Watching his father’s health rapidly decline after years of exposure, this instilled a passion in young Frank to return farming to the natural ways before the days of toxic pollutants, genetic modifications, and chemicals. In 1994, Crooked Sky Farms was born. Excited to spread the Local Food Movement enthusiasm, Frank coordinated the largest CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program in Arizona in 1999. This inspired communities to pull together to support local farming to grow honest and healthy produce. Embracing the teachings of his dad, a Native American migrant farm worker, Frank continues the Native American traditions of using: Heirloom seeds, natural care for the soil, crop rotation, and other sustainable farming practices.
