We use agroecological and traditional acequia practices to grow food, adapted seed, beneficial habitat. HawkMoth Farm is located on the original territories of the Jicarilla and Mescalero Apache, within the historic and present lands of the Anton Chico Land Grant community in New Mexico. Los Ranchitos de Anton Chico Acequia is our primary source of water streaming from the Pecos River and winding
forth from the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Our farm and family give thanks to all past and present people who have stewarded these lands, waters, seeds, and livestock through their lives of labor and love - without you we would not be here today. We also give thanks to the land, water, seeds, plants, animals, sun, and moon for these blessings of life, food, and community. HawkMoth Farm is a small family farm dedicated to agroecology, art, and education and providing abounding sustenance for people and the land. On the farm we employ regenerative processes through weaving traditional ecological practices with deep listening and on the farm research - culminating in four season annual and perennial polyculture fields and gardens with integrated livestock that are chemical free and committed to environmental and social well-being. We are pledged to seed saving with over 70% of all farm produce coming from our own open pollinated seeds and plant breeding program. Our specialty produce includes true shallots, garlic, chile, sweet peppers, flour, dent, and flint corns, squash, heritage grains, tomatoes, cucumbers, flowers, medicinal herbs, blackberries, grapes, apples, and asian pears, along with winter mixed greens and root crops. We raise chickens, runner ducks, Awassi Sheep and Navajo Churro Sheep. We also milk our sheep and produce yoghurt and cheese. We sell produce at the Tierra Encantada Farmers Market in Las Vegas, NM and can sometimes fill local orders upon request. Give us a call, text, or email to find out the next time we will be in town and what items we have available. Stay posted for future workshops and educational opportunities on seed saving, agroecology, and more.
