Veggies, NAPA, new acres on Maricopa Council agenda
An agreement would have Duncan Family Farms leasing land near City Hall.
The City of Maricopa plans to lease some of its property, and area food banks may benefit from the deal.
Tuesday’s meeting agenda of the Maricopa City Council includes an agreement with Duncan Family Farms, based in Goodyear. CEO Arnott Duncan has already signed the agreement.
As part of the five-year arrangement, Duncan Family Farms will supply 20,000 pounds of fresh produce annually to food banks located within the City of Maricopa. The company will also pay for maintenance and upkeep of the property. All of that is in lieu of rent.
