Green Drinks, Potluck and Garden Fair

This is a busy week for Home Grown New Mexico.  We have just completed Earth Day with events at Earth Care, The Santa Fe Community College and La Montanita Coop.  Our celebration included snap pea seeds for all attendees, so they could start their gardens with a healthy treat.  It was great to meet all of the people that want to grown their own food this year.  We hope to see you at our monthly potlucks, education classes and the Kitchen Garden and Coop Tour.

This week includes three important events:

• Community Homesteading Potluck
  Tuesday, April 26th at 7pm
  Santa Fe Complex at 632 Agua Fria Street, parking on Romero
  We will have a seed exchange and hear from Food Depot, Santa Fe Time Bank and Beneficial Farms CSA

Grow it. Make it. Store it. Eat it

Home Grown New Mexico produces events that educate and promote the awareness of nutritious, home grown food. Home Grown New Mexico creates venues where individuals and businesses that support home grown food production can exchange products, ideas and expertise. The vision is to enable New Mexicans to take personal responsibility for growing, making, storing and eating healthy food while enhancing like-minded businesses.
