Celebrating the winter solstice the way we usually do - with the burn pile being sacrificed to warm the long night. Happy Solstice, friends!

That’s a wrap on the 2025 season at Chispas Farm!

We are feeling incredibly blessed by our most successful growing season ever, and one of the most fun years at the farm in recent memory. There were some major lows too, with tragic animal deaths (RIP Strider, Zagreus, Zinnia, Gooseberry, & others), but the highs were so sweet, it all balances out.

So much gratitude to our CSA members and market customers, and to the wholesale partners who really helped us get our bounty of food out into our community. We loved our volunteers and interns, and the school groups we hosted. And the parties this year were lit! farm dances, ’s Pride is a Protest art festival, .abq craft markets, graduation celebrations & wedding ceremonies - and of course the epic, soul-healing Farm Rager/Rave that .catalyst .hidetanning threw in October was the grande finale.

The crew this year was rock solid, with most of us on our 2nd-5th-10th+ season at Chispas, and going strong. We look forward to 2026 with all the tender & terrific changes the year will bring, and meanwhile we are ON BREAK UNTIL JAN. 13th!

Happy Solstice! Happy New Year! See you next season ❤️‍🔥

Late season vibes at Chispas - garlic is popping, sheds are getting cleaned out, holiday markets bring joy, snow confuses the goats, chicken coop is refreshed & manure is spread on fields…and the Sandhill Cranes circle and call above it all!

Seed cleaning/saving week at Chispas! Red & Golden Amaranth, Colorado River Beans, Tepery Beans, Fava Beans, Sonoran Winter Wheat, Khorasan, and Blue Corn, and some flower varieties too! Lots of threshing & winnowing and all kinds of laughter and wonder. Every year it charms us again, how delightful seeds are!

We will grind the wheats into flour, saving some for wheat berries & seed for planting, and same with the amaranth. The Colorado River Beans are yummy to eat, and the Tepery are special and saved for planting and the future. Fava is for planting and also eating, and blue corn is another we will grind for flour. So much goodness!

Carrot harvest, sheep in the hoop house to clear the way for winter fava bean and peas, and garlic planting! The season is drawing to a close and the fields are getting wrapped up in cover crop blankets, tucked in for winter. 💜

Green tomato season is right before the frost comes around here. We’re expecting a hard frost any day now (early next week?) so in preparation we pick every single green tomato (and will be gathering peppers, eggplant, the last zucchini) in anticipation. Like everything else this year, we have an abundance - 800 lbs of green tomatoes & counting. Look for them at the market!

What do you like to make with green tomatoes? They work great for salsa, chutney, savory or sweet pie, and of course fried up!

Our final gathering of farmers and those who are interested in joining this community/movement/revolution will be Nov. 8th, 2025, from 3-6 PM at the Hubble House (NOT at Chispas, please note!) This mixer will provide an opportunity to really pick the brains of some of ABQ’s most experienced small farmers, making space for digging deep & asking those questions that have felt most pressing! Please join us - more details in the flier!

We harvested over 300 lbs. of sweet potatoes today - and only dug up 2 out of 6 beds! A historic harvest for Chispas, and the sweet potatoes are huge too. We have the barnyard manure to thank - all the work of excavating the barnyard and then spreading that stuff on all our fields certainly paid off. Shoutout to the many sheep, goats, & chickens that made it 😅🥰

09/19/2025

Come on down to the farm tomorrow (Saturday Sept. 20th) between 9 AM - noon and get a bounty of tomatoes! 20 lbs. for $50. Ripe and ready for sauce making, tomato pie, jam, dried tomato candy, or whatever your heart fancies making!

Please bring your own boxes or bags to carry your tomatoes home, as we WILL NOT have boxes to give out. Thank you!
