The regenerative ranchers, organic farms, and local food networks NZR sources from across Northern New Mexico. The first link in the Full Circle.
"They are the stewards of the land. NZR is just the kitchen."
New Mexico's only Certified Organic lamb producer. Pasture-fed on the Carson National Forest summer range — buds, leaves, mountain mahogany, aspen. Never feedlot-finished.
"An ideal for lamb — herbal, earthy yet ethereal."The New York Times · 2011
Owned by Emily Cornell — second-generation cattlewoman. Grass-fed and finished dry-aged beef from cattle pastured where the plains meet the mountains. Adaptive ranching focused on soil health, water quality, and biodiversity.
100% grass-fed and grass-finished Black Angus and Santa Gertrudis. Cattle summer on a 300-acre Pecos Mountains ranch with thirteen natural springs, and winter on Sile's pastures and alfalfa.
Family-owned and family-operated. All-natural, grass-finished beef and pork from generations on the same high-plains land.
Family-run since 2013 — Aaron and Addie Haynes & four kids. All-natural, grass-fed and grass-finished beef, dry-aged 14–21 days at a New Mexico USDA butcher.
Regenerative pork from a farm that defines its practice by what it builds, not what it avoids. No growth hormones, no tail docking. Pigs free to root, run, wallow, and play.
A registered 501(c)(3) practicing regenerative and organic farming since 2010 in Northern New Mexico's high desert. Grows and mills its own blue corn into masa for tortillas, plus wheat, beans, garlic, and fruit trees. Built around land restoration, water conservation, and community development.
A social enterprise sourcing network connecting Northern New Mexico farmers with local kitchens. Built to protect traditional, low-impact farming methods and prioritize fairness across the farmer-to-eater value chain.
An 18-acre farm in Taos County, surrounded by 2,200 acres of pastures and alfalfa, sitting at 7,560 feet at the lowest point of the San Luis Valley, with 360-degree views of the Sangre de Cristos, the Rio Grande Gorge, and extinct volcanoes.
The horseback-ranching tradition — cattlemen and cattlewomen — didn't stop two hundred years ago. It lives in the families NZR sources from. The modern continuation of generations stewarding land, water, and animals across Northern New Mexico.
