December 3rd, 2025 - Business Development Workshop

We are looking forward to connecting with small-scale, beginner, and aspiring producers in Northern Arizona! The focus of this workshop is on growing or developing your business, whether that’s one already in place or just something you’ve been dreaming up and looking to make a reality. We plan to cover identifying niches, marketing, pros and cons of certified labels, organic and conventional practices, and an overview of zoning information and additional business development resources. This event will take place from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. in Rimrock, AZ and online.

December 13th, 2025 - Winter Indigenous Food Wellness Circle

This event will focus on food sovereignty for Indigenous communities, including the right to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods. We will discuss and demonstrate the deep connection between traditional foods, culture, health, and well-being, as well as the need to restore these connections and support Indigenous people in reclaiming their food systems, which have been disrupted by historical and systemic challenges. The event will also explore how Indigenous science can be combined with modern agricultural practices to promote a sustainable future for Indigenous food systems. We hope to see you there from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the University of Arizona Maricopa County Cooperative Extension Office (Phoenix, AZ)!
