About
Aravaipa Heirlooms cultivates local, desert-adapted, and endangered heirloom vegetable plants. We specialize in varieties boarded on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste (for exceptional flavor and risk of extinction), and those that are red listed as imperiled by the Renewing America's Food Traditions (RAFT) Alliance. We grow varieties that were planted historically or anciently by the peoples of Arizona, the desert southwest, and Mexico, and cultivars that are more tolerant of heat, drought, and poor soil.
All our plants are organically grown (no synthetic herbicides or pesticides, no fossil fertilizers) and all are open-pollinated (no hybrids, and no GMOs). Currently we offer 44 varieties of heirloom tomato plants and 22 varieties of chile pepper plants, available at local farmers' markets. Look for other fruit, vegetable, and herb plants, seeds, and produce later this season!
