Our Projects & Programs
Northern New Mexico Indigenous Farmers, Inc. (NNMIF) works with Indigenous communities, farmers, youth, and local partners to strengthen food systems, agriculture, water resources, and community connections to the land. Through our projects and programs, we have supported community-led efforts that promote food sovereignty, agricultural development, environmental stewardship, youth education, and the revitalization of Indigenous farming practices.
Restoring Indigenous Food Systems
This project supports Indigenous farmers and community members in strengthening local food systems through farmer leadership, traditional knowledge, agricultural education, and community food sovereignty.
Hogback Pumping Station & Renewable Energy Project
NNMIF is supporting efforts to modernize the Hogback Water Pumping Station and improve irrigation infrastructure serving agricultural lands in the Hogback area. The project also incorporates solar energy, battery storage, and renewable energy technologies to support a more reliable and sustainable water system. This work is intended to help bring agricultural land back into productive use and strengthen farming opportunities for local communities.
Youth Outdoor Education & Community Farm
NNMIF is developing a community farm that provides opportunities for Indigenous and rural youth to learn through hands-on experiences with gardening, planting, harvesting, nature, and land stewardship. The program connects youth with the land while encouraging cultural knowledge, environmental awareness, and community responsibility.
Community Garden Program
NNMIF supports community gardening as a way to increase access to fresh, healthy foods while strengthening food sovereignty and traditional agricultural knowledge. Community members participate in planting, caring for, harvesting, and sharing food with families and community members.
