History
Established in 1988.
Nearly three decades ago, the founders of Patagonia Orchards started a small truck farm in the Verde Valley of Northern Arizona. As Phil and Sherry worked to bring their products to Arizona stores and farmers markets, they soon realized transportation would be difficult, and in 1988 they purchased their first refrigerated truck. Working long, hard hours growing, packing and distributing their produce, the couple traversed vast areas, from the mountains of Flagstaff to the desert cities of Phoenix and Tucson and lots of small towns in between.
Today Patagonia Orchards grows, packs, ships and distributes over 12 million pounds of produce from its hub in Rio Rico to Arizona stores, national chains and distributors throughout the United States and Canada.
Meet the Business Owner: Philip O.
In 1988, Philip and Sherry established a small organic farm, and organic produce distribution company based in Arizona. Organic food distribution is not their only passion...enlightenment is another crop they sow. For over thirty years Philip and Sherry have helped educate farmers in Arizona and Mexico about organic production regulations, food safety practices, and crop forecasting. For over thirty years, they have preached the gospel of "balance and flow" and incorporated that concept into every label, every decision and every practice in their organization. Does this create balance? Does it flow? It has been their life's work and it is Patagonia Orchards' mission!
