What is New Mexico Grown?
New Mexico Grown is a values-based local food purchasing program that nourishes New Mexico school-age children, older adults, and families with fresh, locally produced food.
We work with local farmers, ranchers, food producers, food hubs, state agencies, and food banks to connect them to local food right here in our state. Through these connections, we’re strengthening New Mexico’s food system from farm to plate.
New Mexico Grown values fair pricing for the products that our farmers, ranchers, and food producers supply.

The New Mexico Farmers’ Marketing Association provides free food safety training, helps farmers access new markets like schools and senior centers, and ensures a consistent demand for local agricultural products. You’ll hear the stories of many operations, including Silverleaf Farms, Bidii Baby Foods, Frontier Food Hub, Backyard Farms, Trilogy Beef, and Gathings Gardens, as they highlight how the program has allowed them to expand their businesses, reach new customers, and focus more on production rather than paperwork.
