Over 100 Years in the Making . . . Pate Family Farms is one of the leading families that pioneered growing and baling alfalfa in this South West region of the United States. Nestled between Phoenix and Tucson Pate Family Farms owns and leases its farm land. We are able to control quality and consistency of our crops grown through our world class management practices with our direct control of the farms. We own patents on technology we have developed on-farm that controls our fertilization process increasing quality and robustness of growth of our crops. No other farm can offer this type of technology to dial-in optimum growth and feed value.
