This year, we’re shaking things up with a behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge hydroponic and aquaponic farming in Santa Fe. Discover how innovative growers are tackling New Mexico’s dry, unpredictable climate with sustainable, high-tech solutions. Our journey begins at Santa Fe Community College's Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) facility where you’ll explore the Culinary Garden, the state-of-the-art CEA Greenhouse, and the Spirulina Farm. After a lunch break, we’ll head to Desert Verde Farm—New Mexico’s first and only commercial aquaponics operation. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience the future of farming, connect with local innovators, and enjoy a day of learning, tasting, and inspiration.
