Johnston Family Foundation For Urban Agriculture

Johnston Family Foundation For Urban Agriculture The Johnston Family Foundation was incorporated in 2015 to enrich Gilbert and its surrounding communities with the benefits of urban agriculture. They're grown.

Communities aren't built. The Foundation hosts workshops, educational tours and events on an 11-acre USDA Certified Organic farm in the heart of Agritopia. PHOTOGRAPHY PERMIT
We have intentionally created a picturesque environment at The Farm at Agritopia® owned and supported by The Johnston Family Foundation for Urban Agriculture for the enjoyment of residents and visitors. This environment is so

mething that the business owners and operators take pride in on a daily basis. The Farm staff and additional outside contractors spend numerous hours organically maintaining this property every week. It is natural for people to want to take photos in the area. Personal photos may be taken in public areas, although in exchange we request that you support the local businesses by purchasing items from them. Professional photographers (defined as persons being paid in cash or barter for the photos or bring professional props on site) are expected to act as professionals and pay a site fee. This includes photographers for whom photography is not their primary source of income. To take photos at The Farm at Agritopia you must purchase a permit. The permit acts as a donation to support The Foundation. FREE FARM TOURS
Free Tour of the Farm on the 3rd Wednesdays of each month at 10:00 am Rain or Shine. For groups larger than 10 or private tours please let us know.

It’s something we’ve never seen before in the Bay Area, a residential development in the heart of a major city that sits next to a sizeable, working farm.
