Hello one and all, I hope everyone is having a safe and blessed Fourth of July.
We had a Great harvest today for South West Food hub located out in Silver City NM.
The crops shown below are two of many edible plant varieties that grow wild all over southern New Mexico as well as much as the South West regions of North America. These plants are deeply imbedded in our culture here in the borderland , by feeding many of the
Indigenous societies that have been on these lands for tens of thousands of years.

At food 4 thought farms, we have made it our mission to reintroduce these ancestral super foods, especially in this day in age with our ever increasingly hotter and dryer climate.

*As seen on Google search*
Amaranth leaves and stems are good economic sources of carotenoids, proteins, including the essential amino acids methionine and lysine, dietary fiber and minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, copper, phosphorus, zinc, iron, and manganese

Purslane is also helpful for supporting your cardiovascular system. It is one of the few vegetables that's rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important to support healthy arteries and can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other forms of heart disease.

Good afternoon everyone,
As we get closer to spring, I wanted to inform you all of the new and exciting things I'll be implementing on my farm this year .

First off I want to thank each everyone of you for being along side me in this journey. Wholeheartedly, Thank you.

I will be undergoing a name change that I have yet to figure out so please bear with me. I'll also posting more videos of myself, my team and friends in my field and theirs. I will be focused on sharing when I'm planting, harvesting, preparing and maintaining a small homestead farm. I hope this message reaches you all at a healthy and happy time in your life .
Stay abundant, stay resilient and keep farming 💯

Greenhouse is finally built !
Time to start planting some tomatoes, peppers and my first trials of microgreens 🍅🌶️🌱
it's all starting to come together🧘🏽
Stay tuned to see what's next for food 4 thought farms 🔥

Phase 1 of the greenhouse.
Season extension is a very important part of keeping food growing in such a hot climate such our own here in Anthony, NM.

Soon I'll be growing microgreens, trees, shrubs, summer and winter transplants to stay ahead of the game earlier and longer in the seasons.

Invest and believe in yourselves !

Everything came out beautifully ! This summer is gonna be very prolific 💪🏼
The best way for nutritionally dense food is a healthy soil !

Good morning everyone
Im still out here harvesting local produce !

This year has taught me alot .. mostly by me making HUGE mistakes and having it eat me up inside afterwards😓. But none the less its still a lesson you can ONLY learn from failure .
I've made a lot of mistakes but it just fills me up with more wonder , appreciation , and anticipation for what's next for me on my journey.
Failure is a option here at food 4 thought farms but failure without learning what I can do to be better, isn't .
Im so thankful to all of those who help me , teach me , and inspire me to keep pushing forward
Thank you and keep on growing 💫

Turning over my front lawn to a garden has been quite a little journey. I planted buckwheat which is an edible cover crop but also can be used as a microgreen and makes potassium and phosphorus available for the next plants to come .
I've planted this as a cover crop for our fall succession in order to amend my soil naturally without any chemical inputs.
Stay tuned to see what gets planted in these beds for the fall 🤘🏽

Good morning everyone !
Wow has these days been BUSY . Today is the first day this week I didnt have to wake up at 4 am just to put in some work on the garden ... BEFORE going into my other job 🙇🏽‍♂️
I have been collecting seeds, taking down cover crops and leaving them as mulch for about a month just to get the soil nice and ready for fall production !
Please like, comment, and share if you find any of this interesting

Barley 🌾
Today at food 4 thought farms, we harvested barely grain in order to save its seed for next springs succession of edible cover crops 😋

Barley is edible and is used to make beer 🍻 bread 🍞 and other delicious and healthy meals year round .
The reason behind planting barley is to use it as a cover crop to help the organic matter in the soil and also because it can take and store excess nitrogen and put it back into the soil 💫

Support local organic sustainable agriculture!

Zoonotic pathogens, which include not only COVID-19, but HIV/AIDS and Ebola, have increasingly emerged due to stresses humans have placed on animal habitats, according to a new United Nations report.
