Artisan Farming . Life is hard, but these farmers wouldn't have it any other way. They rise before the sun; scan the skies as often as they run soil through their fingers; use tractors and trucks as shade trees; taste their product without washing it; and celebrate with festivals. They take pride in their land, their soil, their crops, and their families. Although the setting is in New Mexico, the tales of the small artisan farmer could happen anywhere, with the crop being anything. The lifestyle is unique, when you have to take a tape recorder with you in order to get a recipe, you know you are onto a phenomenon deeply rooted in the tradition and folklore of the land. Sustain ability is a broad philosophy that touches many aspects of life, such as bringing your own canvas bag to the farmers market so as not to create a demand for plastic. Eating locally grown food is sustainable because it means less fossil fuel is used to transport goods for your consumption. Most supermarket food across the country or even around the world requires unimaginable amounts of energy which can be saved by eating food grown by local farmers who sell it at farmers markets. Join in the good life, with recipes from New Mexico to use with your produce purchased fresh at your local farmers market.
