Sustainability, locally sourced, farm to fork, water harvesting… all of these are coming together in some “typical backyards” where a growing number of people are turning residential lots into productive mini-farms. Some of the most active are taking place in very urban settings such as Phoenix and Tempe in the “Valley of the Sun” one the nation’s largest metropolitan areas.
