FOOD, FARM & RANCH
|
Nothing captures the essence of the northeast New Mexico landscape like the long vistas of open prairie rangelands. These rugged pastures nurture the native and cultivated grasses that support the large herds of cattle and bison that provide the prime meats and exceptional flavors for which the region is known.
The varied terrain of the area also supports a less expansive but equally rich tradition of small scale farming. The river valleys in northeast counties such as San Miguel, Mora, and Guadalupe are dotted with small orchards and rows of crops, many grown from stock or seed passed down in families for generations. Free range fowl and goats cross the fields and roadways and supply the quality eggs and cheeses available at local farmers' markets. The pristine land and water of the area impart the flavors and quality of the terroir to the ranch and farm goods grown here. These flavors mark the basic yet distinctive taste of everything from holiday tamales to classic green chili cheeseburgers.
