Middle Rio Grande Valley Farm

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 September. 3.) Cold weather crops that will tolerate a freeze like some of those in group 1, above, can be planted in August and September for harvest all winter long. In nineteen winters spent here in Bosque Farms  I have never seen the ground freeze deeper than a few inches. Our dry sandy loam is the perfect medium for whatever crops you wish to grow. Ask Brian Warden or Laura Warden about world-class farmland available in Valencia County and elsewhere in the Albuquerque area. We have a particularly beautiful farm with ancient surface water rights in the hamlet of Los Chavez, New Mexico. Ask Brian Warden or Laura Warden about 1218 John Road, Los Chavez, NM
