Urban Ag Field Days are peer-learning and networking opportunities initiated by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension's Urban Agriculture Production, Small-Scale, and Beginning Farmer Program in collaboration with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency.

Interested in urban and small-scale agriculture? How about agroforestry in Arizona? Come learn from an array of expertise at our Urban Orchards and Farming Field Day! Participants will tour two sites on which experienced urban farmers Steve Miller and Sandy Lockwood produce local fruit; "The Farm" and "The Orchard", which offer unique micro-climates for production in an urban environment.
