We harvest fruit, vegetables, and herbs from The Farm at Agritopia, then look to local farmers in other parts of Arizona.
Not everything can be entirely local, but we give it our best shot. We use local, all-natural beef for our burgers and trans-fat free oils for frying, dressings, and marinades. A breakfast dish that includes hash browns, sausages, eggs, bacon and pancakes. Agritopia is the farm where most of the ingredients are grown. Burger with your choice of cheese: American, Tillamook cheddar, swiss, fontina, dutch gouda, ghost pepper jack hot!
Joe's Farm Grill used to be the Johnston family residence. Built in , Jim and Virginia Johnston hired D. Castleberry to design and build a ranch-style, slump block home for their young family. Sons Joe, Steve, and Paul were excited to move to "the country".
In the planning of Agritopia, we always envisioned a restaurant coupled to the urban farm as a focal point for the project. This vision guided our redevelopment of the Johnston home into Joe's Farm Grill. We preserved the 60's era look while updating it into a modern, mid-century "burger stand". Blending the indoors and outdoors as we took advantage of the peaceful setting created by the large trees. So what is left of the original house?
Most of it, actually. The dining room with its fireplace is the former family room. The kitchen is where all of the bedrooms used to be. The home's kitchen and dining room were taken out to create the atrium. Agritopia contains approximately 12 acres dedicated to permanent urban organic farming. Farming began on the land in when barren desert was cleared and the availability of irrigation water made agriculture possible.
