About

Cultivo – Community, Unity, Land, Tradition, Innovation, Vocation & Opportunity.

We are a nonprofit program of Localogy, a 501(c)(3) in Questa, New Mexico. Our mission is to grow food security, cultural continuity, and economic vitality in northern Taos County by inspiring, educating, and equipping the next generation of farmers and ranchers.

This season we’ve focused on hiring, mentoring and instructing 10 paid Youth Interns to work mainly at Cerro Vista Farm and sell what they produce at Questa Farmers Market.

At Cerro Vista, farmer Daniel Carmona is sharing his decades of locally adapted farming experience with a regular cohort, ages 10-17, along with their mentors.
