New Ways to Eat Local
From Belén to Santa Fe, these innovators are redefining what it means to take produce from farm to table. TYPICALLY, WHEN WE THINK OF EATING farm to table, certain luxurious images spring to mind. Maybe it’s a leisurely Saturday morning spent at the farmers’ market smelling fresh-cut basil, examining a carton of pastel-blue Araucana chicken eggs, and selecting the perfect heirloom Green Zebra tomato. Or perhaps a vision of dinner at an upscale restaurant emerges: A roasted rack of local grass-fed lamb nestled beside butter-poached baby rainbow carrots with their tops still attached to signal their freshness.

Three Brewery Patios to Enjoy This Summer
Whether for a Sunday afternoon or an evening under the stars, these brewery patios have fun on tap. When Flock of Moons owners Stefanie Luna and Jeff Tomlinson first saw a 3,000-square-foot space in Albuquerque’s Bricklight District, they actually worried it would be too small. Luna and Tomlinson were seeking something double the size, but after realizing they could convert the parking lot into a patio, things began looking up. After several years of planning and renovations, the whimsical and stylish brewery opened in summer 2023. The renovated 1940s building near the University of New Mexico campus features an antique tin ceiling in deep blue (to evoke the night sky), hardwood floors, and plenty of windows that let guests observe the beer-making process. The back patio is “an oasis in the middle of the city,” says Tomlinson. “It’s huge and has plants, picnic tables, a stage, a firepit, and heaters.” Flock of Moons has hosted crafts markets featuring LGBTQ+ makers and hopes to honor the legacy of Winning Coffee, the previous tenant of the building, with live music and community events. “We want to tap into the good energy and carry it forward,” says Tomlinson. Summer pour: Bandada de Lunas, a New Mexican lager, smells like freshly zested limes thanks to the variety of hops used in the brewing process.
