Welcome To Owl Peak Farm

Owl Peak Farm is a registered 501(c)(3) that provides support for land restoration, water conservation, labor, and community development within our Northern New Mexico high desert rural community. Since our inception in 2010, we’ve practiced regenerative and organic farming and have worked to continually build infrastructure that creates well-paid jobs and builds strong relationships with businesses. With each property, we prioritize water conservation, drought resiliency, field regeneration, and erosion control. Every year we grow wheat, corn, beans, garlic, and fruit trees to improve the strength of the seed for our soil and arid weather conditions.


 

In 2022, Owl Peak Farm launched “Owl Peak Farm Grains” with an onsite small batch New American Stone Mill at Dora’s. We are able to hand process special orders for fresh Blue Corn, Turkey Red Hard Wheat, and Sonora White Winter Wheat flour.

The farm consists of a small group of fields in La Madera, New Mexico. We are embraced by two rivers, the Tusas and Vallecitos, and the beautiful Owl Peak Mountain. The fields are watered by acequias- community-operated traditional water ditches- by gravity-fed spring irrigation, and with whatever rain falls on the high arid desert. The soil in which the grains are grown is kept healthy through regenerative practices: cover cropping, rotational plantings, and the grazing efforts of a small herd of horses.

The high desert has specific characteristics of the soil, topography, and climate, creating the strength of flavors in the foods produced. All grains are small batch and hand processed to order.

we work to:

  • Support local and national organizations that bring people together to explore new understandings and solutions around soil, food production, and community. Also, we help fund films, articles, and podcasts that tell the story.

  • Collaborate with farmers and chefs who work endlessly to create a network of good relationships around food production.

  • Offer the opportunity of land and infrastructure to explore and expand on ideas around seed, food, and community.
