Rio Grande Community Farm
Organic Food Store in Albuquerque, NM
The Farm preserves a special link in the history of Albuquerque. It occupies the original site of Los Poblanos, one of the earliest Spanish Colonial settlements in the Rio Grande Valley. It is, in fact, a living link in an agricultural heritage that extends over 1700 years, making it among the oldest parcels of continually farmed land in the US. Years of hard work have transformed the neglected land into community gardens, wildlife habitat, and certified organic croplands.

About Us
read moreRio Grande Community Farm established to manage 50 acres of the 138-acre Los Poblanos Fields Open Space. What is now the Los Poblanos Fields Open Space was purchased by the City of Albuquerque after a two-year campaign to preserve this last remaining parcel of farmland in the North Valley. Recognizing the value to the community of maintaining this agricultural space, the City passed a two-year cent sales tax to provide funds for its acquisition. The Farm holds a special place in the history of Albuquerque.
What we do
read moreThe Agri Nature Center role is to encourage a new generation of farmers and growers through programming and giving the community the tools and resources to become a competant in their field. We do this by outreach, education, farming projects and research in small scale agriculture. We welcome new farmers to grow on our lands or in our community. We build connections to help new growers and farmers from land to grant funding. Just wondering if we can hire you all to disc the ground where we intend to put a small vineyard.
