Farmer-to-Farmer Hub

A venue to connect farmers with the Native Crop Toolkit and each other, training and contract production opportunities, equipment sharing, technical guides for implementing the native crop toolkit and species cultivation practices.

We are launching a collaborative Native Crop Toolkit at 16 small farms along the Rio Grande River. The Native Crop Toolkit aims to increase dryland farming resiliency by utilizing on-farm conservation practices in the Rio Grande River Watershed in central New Mexico. 

The Toolkit incorporates conservation strategies (habitat restoration, native seeds, pollinator resources) into traditional agricultural practices (production fields, cover crops, hedgerows), resulting in four Native Crop Tools: native seed production fields, native cover crops, pollinator hedgerows, and habitat restoration on fallow fields. Farmers can customize Tools and species that best suit their land, needs, capacity, and expertise, while benefitting from fewer resource inputs and a farmer-to-farmer (F2F) hub.
