Desert Agriculture:
Cultivating a Sustainable Mojave
Agriculture is the heartbeat of Newberry Springs. Our mission is to protect our rural heritage while embracing the future of desert farming. By focusing on water-efficient techniques, local food security, and shared knowledge, we ensure that our valley remains a productive green belt for generations to come.
Coppi Mumford Community Garden Project
Growing Together. Located in the heart of our community, the Coppi Mumford Garden is a living laboratory for desert cultivation. Whether you are a seasoned grower or a first-time gardener, this space provides the land and the community support to help you succeed.
Home Gardens and Family Farms
Supporting Local Producers. From backyard kitchen gardens to commercial desert farms, we provide a network for local growers to share resources and best practices. We believe that a resilient Newberry Springs starts with a strong local food system.
Training and Resources for Future Gardens
Expertise for the High Desert. Desert farming isn’t like farming anywhere else. Our Garden Club provides specialized training classes specifically for our community.
