New Mexico's 70+ Farmers' Markets

The New Mexico Farmers' Marketing Association has a long-standing commitment to supporting farmers, ranchers, and food producers across New Mexico. By fostering connections between these producers and local communities, the association ensures that agricultural knowledge and traditions are preserved. Through various programs, they have worked tirelessly to keep farmers on their land and maintain the production of water and seeds.

The association emphasizes the importance of local food systems by supporting farmers' markets where growers can sell their produce directly to consumers. This approach not only helps farmers stay on their land but also ensures that agricultural practices and knowledge are passed down through generations. They also run programs like Double Up Food Bucks, which incentivizes the purchase of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables by providing a dollar-for-dollar match to SNAP recipients.

The association is dedicated to ensuring that every New Mexico family has access to fresh, healthy food. They support education and provide resources such as recipes, news, and shopping tips on their website. Their efforts help create valuable community gathering places and keep food dollars circulating within local economies.
