County: Bernalillo

Zip code: 87122

Type of opportunity sought: I recently purchased a farm in Las Nutrias and would like to grow vegetables.

Specified interest in farming/ranching/animal-raising: I am a new farmer and would like technical assistance from a more experienced farmer.

Background in farming: I have limited farming experience, but am interested in learning more.

Willing to consider the following types of business arrangements: Looking for technical assistance and mentorship.

Stated interest in on-site housing: None stated.

Other information: I purchased 12 acres in Las Nutrias and have been very excited about the whole thing. Six acres are in Dovey Grass, and I have planted 75 bare root fruit trees. I have cut, burned, ripped, and made my borders for planting, which has cost me some money because I do not have any equipment. I have contracted with some very nice neighbors who have helped me tremendously. I love working out there regardless of how hard the work is. I have been all ears when these wonderful neighbors give me advise or knowledge. I am seeking all the knowledge I can get to help succeed. Help, please!
