CPA Firm, ASU’s Walter Cronkite Agency, and Michelle Caporali. The premiere was on June 22nd at the beautiful Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The energy and enthusiasm surrounding the event were palpable as a sold-out audience gathered to witness the inspiring story of Maya’s Farm and its remarkable sustainable practices. The premiere highlighted the resilience and strength of our local farming community, capturing the attention and interest of all who attended.
One of the evening’s highlights was the engaging Q&A session featuring Brenda Thomson, Executive Director of AZ Humanities, Tony Pham, the director of “Planting Solar,” and Maya Dailey, the passionate proprietor of Maya’s Farm. This thought-provoking discussion shed light on the challenges and triumphs of sustainable agriculture in Phoenix, leaving the audience inspired and motivated to support local farming initiatives.
