Program Description

​In pursuit of our mission, we annually celebrate the Mimbres Valley Harvest Festival to bring our community together, encourage local agriculture through education and development of markets, showcase locally grown food, local Artisans and handmade products, and promote tourism to the Mimbres Valley, located in the southwest corner of New Mexico on the southwestern edge of the Gila National Forest. Our festival is held in cooperation with the San Lorenzo Elementary School. This partnership gives the festival a home, provides a place for the much-needed Health Fair, and the school has its biggest fundraiser.

Seasonal Saturday Farmer's Market

Program Name

Seasonal Saturday Farmer's Market

Budget

$600

Program Description

The Mimbres Valley Farmers' Market provides an outlet for growers to sell fresh and nutritious locally grown food to their neighbors. The Market fosters direct connections and bonds between farmers and shoppers. Growers receive greater return by cutting out the middlemen, and in exchange, buyers receive healthy food, much of which is grown organically. The Market promotes a sense of community by providing a weekly venue to meet and share stories with friends and neighbors. The Market will be open every Saturday morning from 10AM until noon in August and September. Be a locavore and support the Mimbres Valley Farmers' Market!
