For the past six years, Rio Grande Grain has been trialing heritage grains in fields that are situated in the watershed of the Rio Grande, nestled in the river valley just west of the Truchas Mountains of northern New Mexico. These fields lay in the ancestral lands of the Puebloan peoples, whose wisdom and stewardship of the seeds, soil, water, earth, and wind inspires our gratitude for and honoring of the land and water that has made our work possible and that sustains us all.
