Arizona farms shrinking in number, growing in size
Jim Boyle Jr.’s family has a long history in dairy farming.
They’ve owned dairy farms in Arizona since the early 1920s, first in south Phoenix and then in Mesa.
Boyle’s roots in dairy farming is one of the reasons he returned home after he left for college and lived in New York for several years.
“I kind of needed a career change and figured I’d raise my kids just like the way I was raised, which is out on the dairy,” he said. “That’s been a good decision. We’ve been back here for the past 14 years.”
