About the Farm at South Mountain
Known affectionately as “The Valley’s Favorite Escape,” the Farm at South Mountain has charmed Phoenix area residents and guests with three restaurants, organic gardens, outdoor markets, an art gallery and wellness center. The Farm dates back to the 1920′s when Dwight Heard of the Heard Museum purchased the property with the vision of encouraging sustainable lifestyles for those who acquired the land in the future. Today, the Farm still embodies that vision with thriving independent businesses, organic gardens and cultural events. The Farm at South Mountain is located just 8 minutes from downtown Phoenix at 6106 S. 32nd Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85042. Online at http://www.TheFarmAtSouthMountain.com
