"I am here. Artisan Farm Co. I build coops, farm spaces, and anything you need."
"Well, kind of. I guess it's time to come out of hiding. :) Until now we've been staying as a private residence & are transitioning into this business. We're located at near Baseline & Greenfield Rds in Gilbert: 2664 E. Desert Lane.
