The Farm
We have built Santa Fe's first indoor, vertical, commercial aquaponics farm to produce fresh local food for our community.
Mary and Andrew Neighbour own and manage Desert Verde Farm. We will provide working opportunities to Santa Fe Community College students enrolled in their Controlled Environment Agriculture program.
Our Crops
We will grow leafy greens (lettuces, herbs, chards, etc), fruiting plants (tomatoes, squash, peppers, cucumbers, etc), and microgreens to meet customer demands.

Feel free to write us to learn more about what and how we are growing. If there is a specific crop you are finding hard to source, let us know and we maybe able to grow it for you.
Current Harvest
We are testing various lettuce, spinach, cilantro, basil and arugula varietals to select those to focus on for our customers.
Fish
We are growing Nile Tilapia to nurture our plants. We expect to harvest 100 fish every other month.
Microgreens
We grow a variety of radishes, peas, kale, and herbs with delivery every week.
