La Semilla Community Farm is a 14-acre education and demonstration farm that hosts year-round youth programming, public workshops, school tours, summer camps, and apprenticeships. We teach youth and families about sustainable, agro-ecological and dryland farming techniques, permaculture design principles, desert food heritage history, and culinary and nutrition skills. We offer food systems education at the farm, teach social entrepreneurship skills, and offer fresh produce in communities across southern New Mexico and El Paso County, Texas.
La Semilla Food Center's mission is to build a healthy, self-reliant, fair, and sustainable food system in the Paso del Norte region of southern New Mexico and El Paso, Texas. We work with children, youth, and families to build awareness around food issues, provide informed analysis, and create alternatives for healthier environments and communities.
