Talk to and get to know your local farmers at your New Mexico Farmers' Markets and ask them how they grow your food.

Knowing what's in your food is important
Each year, EWG's (Environmental Working Group) Dirty Dozen List highlights produce with the highest pesticide contamination, and leafy greens like spinach, kale, collards, and mustard greens consistently rank at the top based on the number, amount, and toxicity of residues detected.

These are some of the most nutrient-dense foods we can eat. They are also easy crops for you to grow at home!

Being able to step outside, harvest your own greens, and know exactly how they were grown feels empowering. And homegrown tastes better.

If a garden isn't in the cards for you this season, take the time to get to know your local farmer. Ask about their field practices. Support growers who care about soil, health, and transparency.

Growing clean = eating clean!

Thanks to bees, birds, butterflies, bats and even beetles, we get to enjoy beautiful floral landscapes and delicious fruits, vegetables and other pollinated treats we have grown accustomed to. During this season for outdoor activities, it’s important to ensure your backyard garden is a place where pollinators and other beneficial insects can thrive. To learn more about backyard beneficial insects, visit https://pubs.nmsu.edu/_h/H172/. Explore the latest New Mexico Agricultural Statistics at https://nmdeptag.nmsu.edu/media/pdf/Ag-Stats-2024.pdf.

When people hear “Farm Bill,” they often think it only affects large farms.
But many of the programs included in the federal Farm Bill support things like:

🥕 Farmers markets
🌱 Conservation and soil health
🏙 Urban agriculture
👩‍🌾 Beginning farmers
🍎 Food access programs

These investments help connect communities with healthy local food while supporting New Mexico farmers and ranchers along the way.
Follow along as we explore how these programs show up in everyday life across our state.
