Hungry for Apple pie, instead of pumpkin, this Christmas? So many kinds of apples exist that if you ate one new variety daily, you’d need 20 years to consume the 7,500 varieties. This Christmas enjoy Arizona’s crisp, sweet apples in your holiday pie!

A traditional Christmas meal includes turkey or prime rib, vegetables, pumpkin pie, and more. Don’t forget milk and cookies for Santa! As a result, nearly everything we eat on Christmas Day can be grown or raised in Arizona, like the beef my family raises on our family ranch.

Both basic methods of farming, Arizona Organic and Conventional farming are more alike than different. They both have well-established markets. They both use approved pesticides and they both feed us with the same nutrition.

Arizona farms grow world-renowned wheat loved by international markets – Desert Durum! Italy loves our Desert Durum for pasta! If you sit down to a pasta dinner tonight, it’s probably from Arizona-grown wheat. Add some Arizona wine!

June is Dairy month! 97% of milk in the grocery store comes from our local Arizona dairies where the cows make the freshest milk, cheese and yogurt. An Arizona dairy cow will produce 7 gallons of milk every day.
