Thank you for being a supporter, grower, board member, customer, volunteer at the Española Farmers Market!

Thank you again and again and again! Without you, this Northern New Mexico treasure would not be possible. We are closing for the 2022 season on Monday, October 31, 2022. See you next year!

This photo is a blast from the past, and it shows us having fun...

We're getting ready to close the season until 2023! Give us a hand. . .

There is one recipe and one product we love to cheer about. Squash. Our recioe is for pumpkin. It doesn't matter. It is also called Spanish squash. We have summer and winter squash at the market. And the winter squash has a shell so thick that it lasts months into the future when it's stored in a cool place. It can be made into a veggie dish with seasonings. It can be transformed into soups and pies. It's local. It's delicious. Many families in Northern New Mexico depend on their locally-grown squash and pumpkins. You've seen these recipes before in Spanish and English. There are so many ways to use squash that we've been asked this year to repeat the recipes. Here they are.

We accept WIC, Senior WIIC, EBT (SNAP) and fresh RX as well as cash money. This season are offering Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) for SNAP customers. Each time you swipe your SNAP card, you will get an equal amount of bonus DUFB for purchasing fruits and vegetables.

Having guests from out of town? Show them the Española Farmers Market!

The fall is a terrific time to invite friends and relatives from out of town to visit the Española Farmers Market with you. You can tell them that we won the best market desaignation in New Mexico in 2019. You can mention that our market video has been featured on a film website in Australia and the news of our accomplishments have been viewed around the world. You can show them the results of our constant additions over the years including an on-site bathroom. And the horno. Point that out. Tourists from out of town contact us to experience the local offerings. Wow. What an idea! You aren't alone.

Show off our onions, peas, quelites, chiles, horno-roasted chicos, chard, salad greens, berries, grass-fed lamb, and more!

And if you see crumbs of food prepared by young people, you can tell your contacts that the young people from the area have been busy cooking in the horno. We have images from the past 15 years that we have been blogging. Yes, that's right. We may be among many farmers' markets in the state, but let your friends and family members know that we have market images and videos from the past 15 years. Now—that's an accomplishment.

Local growers are getting ready for the biggest and most impressive produce!

Growers active at the Market can enter their impressive vegetables in the following categories: Biggest heirloom pumpkin, Biggest root vegetable, Biggest chile, Oddest vegetable, Wild card vegetable, Prettiest ristra, Best corn, Biggest sunflower head or dried gourd. Winners will be announced at our special event in October 2022 and ribbons awarded by the vegetable judge. Are you making a recipe book as a gift for your family and relatives for the upcoming holidays? Don't be surprised if someone from the other side of the planet taps you on the shoulder at the Española Farmers Market. Our vintage video was aired "down under" three years ago.

The above photo is a blast from the past to show that there's more than produce at the Española Farmers Market. Join us! Sing and dance with us. And growers...we're waiting to see what you have to offer at the great veggie contest in late October.
