Bio

A fourth generation Arizona farmer, Kirk Dunn has over a decade of experience in the agriculture industry. While attending the University of Arizona and upon graduation, Kirk worked on various projects ranging from building supply chain pipelines to crop and varietal research to public policy development. In 2019 Kirk and his wife Sierra founded Good Dirt Farming, and in 2022 they became full time farmers. Operating approximately 1,000 acres in the South Gila valley of Yuma County, Kirk's focus is predominately on seed production, growing crops such as broccoli, onions, wheat and cotton.

Kirk is very active in the agriculture community in Yuma and is currently a member of the Yuma Fresh Vegetable Association and serves on the board of directors for the Yuma County Farm Bureau, where he continues to advocate for policies at the local, state and federal level that will have a positive impact on Yuma agriculture.

While Kirk is very proud to be a farmer and to be stewarding the same ground that his grandad first began farming in the early 1960's, he is even more proud to be a husband to Sierra and father of two daughters, Cora Lee and Ada Lynn. He loves taking all of his girls to different California beaches or to the White Mountains to enjoy fishing and hiking, and they all love serving together in their local church. Kirk's favorite pastime is cooking anything outside, and he currently suffers from an addiction to fantasy football.
