Then you need your extension service first.

Make an appointment with the Maricopa Co. office:

And you need to find your small business advisory groups -- small business
incubators, SCORE, etc.

The first things I'd start with on the growing side would be soil and
water tests. The first things I'd start with on the business side
would be a needs analysis. No point in raising a crop you can't sell
because Monrovia or such is producing it cheaper.
