Mark Rhine, a former broadband contractor, founded Rhiba Farms in San Tan Valley, Arizona, over a decade ago. His journey into farming began with cultivating wheatgrass for juicing to address personal health concerns. Recognizing a market demand, he expanded production commercially, eventually supplying major grocery chains.
Rhiba Farms spans 3.3 acres and is renowned for its diverse, nutrient-dense produce, including unique items like ice cream bananas and almonds. The farm employs regenerative agriculture practices, such as on-site composting and the integration of animals to enhance soil health.
The farm's high-quality produce has attracted numerous Arizona chefs, including Chris Bianco and establishments like The Shop Beer Co. Beyond serving restaurants, Rhiba Farms offers its products to the public through an on-site farm stand, participation in local farmers' markets, and a farm box program.
Committed to community engagement, Rhine hosts educational events and farm tours to promote sustainable farming and healthy eating. He also collaborates with local schools to introduce children to agriculture, aiming to inspire future generations of farmers.
Through Rhiba Farms, Mark Rhine exemplifies a dedication to sustainable agriculture and community involvement, contributing significantly to Arizona's local food movement.
