When my wife Leslie and I returned to our family's land in Southern Arizona, we faced a stark reality: 40% of the American Southwest is at risk for desertification. The farm that had been in my family for generations (learn more about farm history here) was witnessing the degradation happening across American farmland.
We asked ourselves a simple question that changed everything: "If not us, then who?"
That question became our mission. We rebuilt Oatman Farms from the ground up, reviving heritage grains like White Sonora wheat that have been grown in this region for over 300 years. These remarkable plants thrive with 60% less water than conventional wheat while producing exceptional flavor with higher mineral content and nutrient density.
After five harvests using regenerative practices, we've transformed dying soil into living earth. As Arizona's first Regenerative Organic Certified® farm, we're proving that what began as environmental necessity has become our greatest culinary advantage.
Each bag of our flour carries the spirit of this sacred land. When you open it, you'll catch that sweet, earthy perfume that rises from the desert floor after rain. No hidden chemicals. No industrial shortcuts. Just ancient desert wisdom meeting modern regenerative practices.
This is what it means to Eat Fearlessly® — choosing ingredients grown with integrity by a family committed to the same values you hold dear. By choosing Oatman Farms today, you're helping build a future where your children and grandchildren will still enjoy pure, wholesome ingredients for their future family recipes.
Because feeding our families today shouldn't compromise the ability of future generations to feed theirs. Thank you for joining our mission.

• On-Farm Stone Milling: We mill our grains fresh on our farm every Tuesday and Thursday, preserving the bran and germ that industrial processing removes, while maintaining the full spectrum of nutrients and complex flavors.
• Direct Farm-to-Table Connection: From our fields to your family's table, we provide complete transparency in our food's journey with nothing to hide and everything to celebrate.
