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.

This year, we are launching a collaborative Native Crop Toolkit at 16 small farms along the Rio Grande River. Farmers benefit from value-added increased productivity with fewer resource inputs, harvests that can be used in riparian restoration, and a farmer-to-farmer (F2F) hub.

The Native Crop Toolkit is designed to increase dryland farming resiliency by utilizing on-farm conservation practices in the Rio Grande River Watershed in central New Mexico. The toolkit adapts four traditional agricultural practices (production fields, cover crops, hedgerows, restoration) to native crop technologies, leveraging farm & environmental benefits and harvests used to further conservation efforts in the region. Farmers grow resilient native crops customized to tools and species that best suit their land, needs, capacity, and expertise.
