HawkMoth Farm

We are a family-owned and operated farm in Anton Chico, New Mexico founded in 2007. We also raise Awassi sheep and run a homestead dairy.

We use agroecological and traditional acequia practices to grow food, adapted seed, beneficial habitat.

Garlic harvest is complete! We grew about twice as much this year and it’s about two weeks earlier than usual. So…. In about a week or two, once it cures, we’ll be coming back to the farmers market!

We have lots of Chocolate Cherry and Yellow Cherry (Galina) tomato plants available!

And we are doing tomato pruning and trellising now - come learn alongside us, volunteer some of your time to help on the farm and we’ll give you free plants to take home!

We are excited to announce that HawkMoth Farm has been awarded a New Mexico Economic Development Healthy Food Financing Fund Grant with our proposal for waste wool upcycling for soil and water conservation!

Funding for this project will help us develop, test, and implement a waste wool reclamation facility on our farm to upcycle sheep waste wool into regenerative soil amendments to increase water conservation and retention, boost soil health and crop productivity, and expand sustainable climate adaptation on our farm. In the coming years we hope to grow this work into a state-wide initiative to turn waste wool into an asset supporting wool growers, farmers, gardeners, and our local foodshed.

We just started our first research plot testing wool pellets. Our soil test is headed to CSU and the wool pellets have been applied to two test beds in our field.

We'll keep posting about our project and results as it progresses!

More Awassi lambs born last night. This year’s lambs are the best we’ve had yet! Big and vigorous.

We have a new helper on the farm! We have loved all the dogs we have ever had - and this one has a big chunk of our heart. Did I mention that she is a badass?

She’s still young - so learning slowly on the sheep - but she’s got duck and chicken herding down!

Field report!
Wow the garlic looks great this year… and the shallots are slow but looking good. The beets we replanted for seed saving took a beating with the frosty temps last week, but they should survive.

Bonus - with the very dry spring we hardly any weeds! Woohoo. But we would still love some rain!

We have had a late season lambing since we bred late in November using our new crop of rams and new ewes. The new breeding rams and ewes were approx 8 mos old at breeding and so far their lambs have been heathy, hardy, and gorgeous…. Not to mention damn cute. 3 more births to go! We’ll start milking next week!

Most of the hoop house tomatoes have survived our recent cold temps. New varieties we are trialing this year and older ones we are returning to include: San Marzano, John Baer, High Country, Moscow, Urbikany, Peacevine, Galo de Melon, Ukrainian Purple, Galina, Cosmonaut Volkov, Black from Tula, and Moskovich. Including our old goodies Chocolate Cherry, Loxton Lad, Rosella Purple, and Firebird!

Tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings in and growing fast. We’ll be transplanting tomatoes in the hoop houses early this week!

It's been so incredibly dry and hot lately. And the Pecos River and our acequia are getting low. It looks to be a challenging grow season if we don't get rain this summer. But at least the garlic and shallots are busting-out right now! The garlic is the biggest I've ever seen at this time of the year. The shallots are slower, I think due to the very dry winter, but they look pretty good considering!
