Imagine waking up to a box on your doorstep brimming with just-picked heirloom tomatoes, vibrant bunches of arugula in eight to 10 varieties, and exotic greens you have never tried before—all straight from a Phoenix farm that honors ancient Native American crop rotation traditions and heirloom seeds. That is the kind of magic Frank Martin, founder of Crooked Sky Farms, has been delivering to Arizona families since he pioneered Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) here in the 1990s.
Inspired by Prescott College students who shared stories of an Indiana farm’s CSA model, Martin launched what became Arizona’s largest CSA program. Today, he grows 120 to 140 different crop varieties each fall and winter season, often tailoring heirloom and specialty items for local chefs.
