In late April 2026, I decided to begin a container fruit and vegetable garden. Having no AZ gardening skills, I headed to Healing Earth Farms / True Garden for education and resources. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and I am successful because of their knowledge and the heartiness of the seedlings. The seedlings do not need to be inserted into a tower and are just fine in soil. About 85% of my garden survived the summer heat and monsoon storms. Now, the red veined sorrel, tomatoes, and okra are growing incredibly well. If you're a newbie like me, looking to understand how to grow your own, Healing Earth Farms / True Garden is also for you. The farmers market sells out quickly because the local vendors that sell there are peak. The freshest of everything; from farm directly to your table is how everything should taste and it does. The quality is absolutely unmatched. Greens, if left in water and cared for, last at least a week. The leaves stay firm, crisp, and add an amazing crunch to your sandwich. There are other products to choose from: fresh juice, eggs, milk, goat products, and more from local farms. It will become one of your fav local grocery stops as it has for us. Very, very affordable.

We recently visited Healing Earth Farms and True Garden on E University Dr in Mesa and had a wonderful experience. What a beautiful concept centered around growing, preserving, and reusing. I didn't take any pictures because I was so wrapped up in conversation with one of the Associates. Who was very knowledgeable and helpful. We learned about tower gardening and purchased fresh vegetables and natural local products from the store. The butter lettuce was some of the best we have tasted in the area. We even left it on the counter for three days, and it was still remarkably fresh. I will uploaded some pictures of the lettuce and basil stalk still looking fresh. We look forward to shopping here regularly and taking some of the classes they offer. It is wonderful to see a local business promoting fresh food, sustainability, education, and community.
Raw goat and cow milk. Excellent quality.
A very clean and nice place to get fresh, organic veggies and bread. Great sourdough bread, and we love the ultra fresh lettuce. Their seedlings are a great way to get your home garden started.
Nice variety to pick from 🥬🧄🥩 🍞
