Photography at
Agritopia Farm
To support the Arizona Urban Agriculture Foundation and maintain our beautiful, fully working farm, we require photo permits for certain activities. Personal photos may be taken in public areas, although we request that you check with local businesses to photograph in their spaces. All others must pay a site fee.
If you are a photographer using a professional camera and/or other equipment on site, such as anything beyond a cell phone camera, you must pay a site fee. Additionally, If you are being compensated for your photos or using the photos to support your online business (including social media influencers), you are expected to pay a site fee. This includes photographers for whom photography is not their primary source of income.
Please refer to our policy for further stipulations regarding online businesses that require you to purchase a permit.

The orchard area is completely off limits! We only allow photographers in to the orchard area with a special permit on select days. The row crop fields surrounded by the white fencing are off limits.

We do not allow any sort of props for photography sessions. This includes but is not limited to: furniture, stationary backdrops, balloons, confetti, bird seed, cakes/"cake smash" props, and flower petals. These items often get left behind, become a nuisance to others, or do not meet our strict organic standards that we must adhere to maintain our certified organic status. The only extra items we allow photographers to bring in are a small wagon to carry equipment, and a small stool is ok as long as all of these items are easily portable.
