National Farmers Market Week is a celebration of the vital role farmers markets play in our communities, offering fresh, locally grown produce directly from the farm to our tables. Here in New Mexico’s central Rio Grande Valley, the Los Ranchos Growers Market stands out as a shining example of this tradition. Nestled in the heart of the region, this market brings together a diverse array of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products. Each week, vendors showcase the best of New Mexico’s harvest. On Saturday, you can anticipate finding blackberries, raspberries, apricots, plums, peaches, various melons, a variety of tomatoes, greens, onions, garlic, turnips, radishes, beets, carrots, sprouts/micro greens, eggs, dried fruit, mushrooms, okra, jalapenos, summer squash, squash blossoms, bouquets, lavender and more.
The market not only supports local growers and artisans but also fosters a sense of community, where neighbors can connect and enjoy the abundance of their surroundings. As we celebrate National Farmers Market Week, we honor the hard work of these local producers and encourage everyone to visit the Los Ranchos Growers Market. In addition to your favorite growers, the market features a wide variety of arts and crafts, delicious ready-to-eat foods, and refreshing hot and cold drinks. We also have ample parking nearby and offer a pet-friendly atmosphere—just please keep your pets on a leash. Come experience the rich flavors and vibrant culture of New Mexico’s agricultural heritage and support your local farmers, growers and food producers. If you’re not in the valley, be sure to visit your favorite local farmers market!
Taste the Tradition,
