bosque farms: BOSQUE FARMS FAIR NOT JUST FOR CHILDREN - 08/09/10 11:02 AM
The 2010 Bosque Farms Fair came off as usual this past first weekend in August. Families with young children are the first and main focus of this annual event, and this year was no different. Horse events like western pleasure riding, reining and barrel racing abounded, with several age classes including adults, but only a few of the latter participated. Inside and outside were the usual art displays, canned goods competition, and church and political party booths. Outside was the rodeo arena and the food, lots of it from barbecue to sno-cones.
For us grown-ups, besides the food, there's a great … (0 comments)

bosque farms: Middle Rio Grande Valley Farm - 07/28/10 11:34 AM
There are three growing seasons in our verdant valley south of Albuquerque, NM. 1.) Traditional cold weather crops like lettuce, spinach, peas go into the ground as seed around the end of February, Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage sets follow soon thereafter. These crops are harvested late in May and throughout June. 2.) Traditional NM summer crops including corn, peppers, beans and tomatoes are planted starting in mid May and can be planted any time up until mid July depending on the number of days until the crop's maturity. The summer growing season closes out by the first frost, usually late in … (0 comments)

bosque farms: Bosque Farms Basics - 07/26/10 02:04 PM
Bosque Farms is in the middle of the high desert of New Mexico. The long trump suit in our playing hand is the Rio Grande River, which forms our western border. Without irrigation water from the river and occasional help from above, our verdant lawns, gardens, pastures and fields of grass and alfalfa hay would dry up. Water is of paramount importance to our farming community. Bosque Farms' motto is “Preserving Rural America,” and at our house we’ve done our best since 1991. We are Brian and Laura Warden of choicesrealestate.com in Albuquerque.

bosque farms: The Wardens of Bosque Farms, New Mexico - 07/26/10 01:57 PM
Laura Warden and I grow some fine chemical-free vegetables and grapes here. Bosque Farms lies a few miles south of Albuquerque, New Mexico. We Wardens have no heavy equipment, so our soil is still soft enough to dig by hand with a round shovel. After a rain, even the riding arena soil often trampled by 5 horses is arable. We are able to support our own family on the produce from our half acre garden. What we don’t eat, we freeze, pickle or can. Last year we filled a medium-sized chest freezer and exceeded 200 quarts of canned goods. Jars of … (2 comments)

bosque farms: A RAINY DAY IN BOSQUE FARMS - 07/26/10 01:47 PM
Bosque Farms. With a weed, the trick is to uproot it while the fertile sandy loam soil is wet and soft. You’re going to get muddy, but there is no choice if you want to save your veggies without prior service from your tiller! Uprooting by hand is impossible when it’s dry. The plants break off at the ground, leaving all those roots to produce several tops instead of just one. You’d be just making more work for yourself. After the rain is a good time to pull weeds. Most will ask, “Why get rid of one weed at a time … (1 comments)

bosque farms: Keeping Bosque Farms Rural and Horse-Friendly - 05/08/07 11:54 AM
Bosque Farms has always been an agricultural and very horse-friendly community...but this once sleepy, rural little town has recently begun transforming into a primarily residential area that is mixed with agriculture, and this has been a concern for many long-time residents
You've probably seen this happen elsewhere; it's typical for folks to flee the crowded urban scene to pursue their vision of a bucolic lifestyle. But their vision often doesn't include roosters crowing at dawn, farmers baling hay in the wee small hours, or, especially, the smell of manure! So they go to work exercising the force of their incoming numbers to try … (6 comments)

bosque farms: Bosque Farms: Visit Virtual Tour Today! - 05/07/07 12:17 PM
Bosque Farms is such a great place to live!I wanted everyone out there to have a chance to visit right away, at least virtually...
As I've explained before, my wife and I have really loved bringing up our daughters in Bosque Farms. It is one of the few places that still has that true "small town" community spirit, where folks know their neighbors, and, indeed, know most of the rest of the town! Our local community fair, active 4H clubs, great village facilities for Little League and soccer teams, horse shows and rodeos, playgrounds for the small fry and basketball, sand volleyball, and tennis … (3 comments)

bosque farms: What makes Bosque Farms a great place to live? - 03/24/07 04:12 PM
My wife, Laura, and I have lived in Bosque Farms, for many years, and have found it a great place to raise a family.
Where else in the Albuquerque area do local residents preserve an old-fahioned, annual Community Fair, complete with family-friendly activities like a greased-pole contest, rodeo, and talent show? This generations-old community tradition offers plenty of opportunities for local kids to show their rabbits, sheep, poultry, and other farm animals; to exhibit and win blue ribbons for their art work, baking, garden produce, or canned goods; to dig for coins in the money pit or enjoy Sno-cones or hot dogs while … (0 comments)
