Our Mission

We foster a resilient agricultural community, environment, culture, and economy for Taos County by uniting traditional wisdom with regenerative practices through education, community building, and collaboration across sectors and silos.

our Vision

We envision Taos County as a place where agriculture creates vibrant connections between land, culture, community, and economy:

LAND AND WATER STEWARDSHIP: Our agricultural lands and waters are sacred, actively stewarded through both traditional practices and innovative approaches. They remain protected, productive, and regenerative, supporting rich biodiversity and future generations.

CULTURAL HERITAGE: Our agricultural traditions are living culture—celebrated daily, passed down through generations, and strengthened by the blending of generational wisdom with the latest innovations. Farming and ranching remain central to our community's identity and future.

COMMUNITY VITALITY: Agriculture serves as a bridge between cultures and communities, fostering relationships built on shared labor, knowledge, and resources. Our food system brings people together, creating resilience through cooperation and mutual support.

ECONOMIC STRENGTH: Our local agricultural economy provides viable livelihoods for farmers, ranchers, and food producers while keeping wealth within our community. Agriculture supports food security for all residents while creating diverse economic opportunities throughout our food system.
