Los Poblanos and Rio Grande Community Farms

Not far from our house, close enough to easily bike to, there is a huge farm, restaurant, and bed and breakfast. It is privately owned, and at least one of the buildings was designed by the same architect who designed the UNM library. They grow food to use in the restaurant and to sell at the farmers' market and at their roadside stand. Below are photos we took there late one afternoon. www.lospoblanos.com/ The B and B ranked 3rd on Trip Advisor. My goodness, 3rd? I would like to see which B and Bs came in first and second!

The Los Poblanos food stand is on the same property.

A friendly turkey preferred to look out of its window and incessantly gobble, trying to find some interesting conversation from the shoppers.

There was some confusion in my mind with the Los Poblanos private enterprise and the Rio Grande Community Farm and the Los Poblanos Fields. The Farm (according to their website) is a certified organic farm located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is run by the city of Albuquerque along with the 138-acre Los Poblanos Fields which are spread out within the Rio Grande valley and the City of Albuqueque. The City acquired the land in 1995 after a two-year campaign to preserve this last remaining parcel of farmland in the North Valley. http://www.riograndefarm.org/about/  In addition to growing food for Albuquerque's public schools, 20% of the fields is devoted to growing food for the birds, especially the sandhill cranes that migrate through ABQ by the thousands in the late fall. These 2 photos were 'borrowed' from the Internet.
