Congratulations to Synergia Ranch (Deborah Snyder, Genny Shipley, and Mark Nelson) for being awarded the Good Earth Award at this year’s New Mexico Organic Farming Conference!
They have been vending at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market since 2000. Their farm is certified organic, uses drip irrigation, uses beautiful compost-enriched soil, and is in a great climate.
The 4.5 acre orchard is unique due to its ecological design and its location on high desert (6300 ft) of clay soil. It was specially designed to minimize water usage and produce the tastiest fruit. The orchard was operated in an organic manner from the outset and has been certified organic by the New Mexico Organic Commodities Commission (now the New Mexico Department of Agriculture) every year since 2000.
