Farmer-to-Farmer Hub

A venue to connect farmers with the Native Crop Toolkit and each other.

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. Farmers can customize Tools and species that best suit their land, needs, capacity, and expertise, while benefiting from fewer resource inputs and a farmer-to-farmer (F2F) hub.

Farm Assessment Form

We are actively recruiting farmers for 2026 tool installation. please fill out the farm assessment form to get started.

Native crop tools will be installed on farms located within the 5 county project boundary **(Santa Fe, Sandoval, Bernalillo, Valencia, Socorro).**

Events

meetings, Webinars, workshops, and farm tours

Farmers from all across New Mexico are welcome to join the Farmer 2 Farmer Hub. Anyone interested in the Native Crop Toolkit may attend webinars and receive online support.
