2014 Fall Fiesta
I’m proud to have photographed this special event for the third year. The mission of the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market Institute is to assist farmers and other land based producers in the production and promotion of their produce, to encourage small farm and ranch operations, engage in research to benefit the advancemnt of agriculture while preserving and honoring historic land-based lifestyles. Their values parallel my own, and I’m proud to have this opportunity to contribute to my local community. This year, the annual Fall Fiesta fundraiser raised over $20k for the neediest of Santa Fe.
This year three farmer “Allstars” were recognized – Phil Loomis – Jacona Farm
– Noel and Gloria Trujillo – Vigil’s Chimayo Produce
– Pilar Abadia – Anna Maria Farm
Dozens of local artists and businesses contributed items for the silent auction
Farmer Matt Romero and Chef Matt Yohalem contributed produce, game and cooking to a special dinner offered in the live auction
