Community Service

Arcadia Farms is strongly committed to giving back to the community and is a proud supporter of organizations serving children, health, education, and the arts. Numerous non-profit organizations and charitable groups have benefitted from Carolyn Ellis's time and culinary resources, both locally and nationally.

Arcadia Farms continues to be a valued champion for SARRC and our families on so many levels. Carolyn and her team are always there for us when we need them. And they're always thinking about our kids. Most recently, they worked with us on a special menu for the AZ Science Center to make sure our kids who are on a restricted gluten- and casein-free diet could enjoy the same experiences as their peers. Her food and style not only nourishes the mind and body, it fills our hearts with joy!

Arcadia Farms' menus, food and beverage quality, and service are number one in my book. And no caterer in town is as generous about giving back to the community as is Carolyn Ellis. She is a jewel!

Arcadia Farms is one of the most responsive and respected caterers in town. Whenever you call Carolyn Ellis to ask for her support for an event, breakfast, or special meeting she creates the perfect venue and manages to do so knowing from her years of experience with non-profit organizations that these groups have very tight budgets and equally short timelines. Carolyn takes her community responsibilities very seriously, and there is hardly an organization in town, large or small, that hasn't been the recipient of her generosity. Arcadia Farms and Carolyn Ellis's reputation in corporate giving is well-established throughout the valley.

Food is an increasingly important component of a museum visit. Arcadia Farms at the Heard Museum provides our visitors with delicious food in an intimate and attractive restaurant environment. Carolyn's commitment to serving the Heard Museum, and the non-profit community, at the highest level is enlightened and generous.
