Bring your appetite and the kids!
[minti_spacer height="25"]Another new addition this year- food trucks that will be serving breakfast and lunch daily and competing in the Red Hot Chile Contest, creating a signature dish using red chile from the food show vendors. Our winner will be announced at 1pm on Sunday. The kids will love the craft activity on Saturday from 10am to 12pm and pony rides from 10:30am to 12pm.
This celebration of the rich tradition of New Mexico made food products and beverages continues to grow and a visit to this year’s event will show you why! This show is co-hosted by The New Mexico Department of Agriculture and New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. NMDA is also promoting its “Elevate New Mexico Agriculture $5 at a Time” campaign. It aims to inspire every New Mexico household to spend $5, or increase their spending by at least $5 per week on New Mexico agriculture products year-round
