ABOUT USDesert Harvesters (DH) is based in Tucson, Arizona, in the beautiful, unique Sonoran Desert. For over twenty years Desert Harvesters has supported and grown community food and water security by inspiring the “re-wilding” of urban and suburban neighborhoods with delicious, drought-hardy, super-nutritious desert food plants, and cooking up affordable, place-based recipes anyone can create in their kitchen: A Grass-Roots Gastronomy! |

It is being designed in response to community feedback to be more organized, user-friendly, easier to navigate, visually engaging, inspiring and interactive. Thanks to all who have helped improve this site!
