Yesterday we attended the harvest festival offered by our wonderful year-round CSA. (Sorry about the photo quality but I can never manage to take good photos when it is extremely sunny.) This is actually only one of the locations for our CSA - they have greenhouses in several other parts of the city and they get in organic produce from the region to distribute to many locations all over the city.



Los Poblanos is located on some prime and historic Los Ranchos de Albuquerque real estate near the Rio Grande river. The area includes a lavender farm, an inn, and a cultural center along with the land for our CSA. The inn and cultural center were designed by renowned New Mexico architect John Gaw Meem.



Here is a statue of San Ysidro, the patron saint of farming, in front of a lily-covered pond.




DH met some new friends.




After the harvest festival, DH took me to what he calls my "happy place."
