Greetings All,

We have maxed out our growing area in our back yard and have expanded to our front yard and also both yards next door. We have over 60 fruit trees ranging from 1 year to 5 years old. A flock of chickens that are laying 15 eggs a day now. We are in the Parkland hills / Ridgecrest area and also looking for people who would like to purchase amazing organic eggs. They are fed Organic NON-GMO grain and heavily supplemented with Organic greens. They have lots of space to roam, very well cared for chickens. I would like to develop this into a neighborhood CSA. Immediate targets - Veggie, Fruit, Egg. Future targets - Honey and possible expansion into an unused back yard. Also a network of Beehives throughout the neighborhood. Best to all. Mark

Thanks Liz, will do. Still trying to grow our ranks. Sent out several invitations to members that have not been active in a while, asking them to revisit the New Mexico site, and have been sending out invites to local papers, hopefully you will receive some press requests.

Remember you can use SEND MESSAGE to GROUP - if you want to organize produce swaps!

Have been searching out members in New Mexico. Have found that searching "New Mexico" yields few peas, but by searching city names have come up with a few more. Will continue to seek out peas. New Mexico is quite a large state with a relatively small population. Yard sharing May not be feasible but I would love to set up a centralized produce swap (and maybe potluck/picnic?).

I usually try to get to Albuquerque at least once a month to go to Costco. I 'd love to find a source of humainly raised chicken and duck. Do you also raise guinnea fowl? I'm also available to help pick fruit at harvest time. Just received some Hyperlocavor post cards, plan on sending them to local newspapers. If you have any papers that you would like me to send them to give me the names.

Still here! What do you have in mind? Do you travel to Albuquerque or the surrounding area often?

Greetings fellow New Mexicans, are there any active members on this site? Last comment from 2010. Would love to establish a produce exchange, somewhere central maybe like Albuquerque? Let me know you are out there.

Hello!
I'm in santa fe, but I don't have a yard. I'd love to participate if this takes off.
I think craigslist is a good place to start, as are fliers in the right places.

I am in Colorado Springs, but would be happy to pass the word to my friends and family in New Mexico.
