Nestled in these picturesque foothills of South Mountain, just 8 minutes from downtown Phoenix, Arizona, you’ll find a charming mix of gardens, markets and restaurants called The Farm and affectionately known as “The Valley’s Hidden Gem.” One of these restaurants is Morning Glory Cafe, an outdoor dining establishment next to The Farm’s organic gardens.
