Urban Farm Fruit Tree Program

Welcome to our 2023 Fruit Tree Program:

We are in the progress of updating our Urban Farm Fruit Tree Education Program for 2023.  The way our program works is that we offer fruit tree education throughout the year with monthly fruit tree chats online and then in the fall we launch our full course of fruit tree bootcamp classes.  Then, just like with a pumpkin lot at Halloween, we open at the perfect time to plant. Generally we are only open for about 20 days per year for you to pick up your preordered fruit trees.  However we are here for you every day at fruittrees@urbanfarm.org.  Below are the list of our 2022 catalogs which are very close to our soon to be updated 2023 catalogs

   and   

STEP 1

LEARN

Our education is designed specifically to lead you on the path to success! Everything you ever wanted to know about choosing, caring for, and harvesting from your trees - with updated and new classes for 2022.

STEP 2

ORDER

Working with selected growers, you can be confident our inventory is the best choice for planting in the low desert of Phoenix.

local pick-up only - no shipping.
Online Ordering:
Citrus Limited Pre-ordering in Aug-Sept for September pick up.

PICK-UP

The Urban Farm Pop-Up Nursery opens seasonally twice a year right before planting season for you to pick up your orders, extra supplies and see what's new. Check dates and location here to find out everything you need to know.
