The newest addition to the Los Poblanos family
We are excited to welcome you to Farm Shop Norte, just in time for the holiday season. One block north of the Santa Fe Plaza, Farm Shop Norte is housed in a renovated 1935 gas station and farm supply store. This one-of-a-kind environment is a destination for shopping Los Poblanos’ signature lavender products, botanical gin, and Farm Foods, alongside curated objects for the home, and New Mexico wine and spirits. Adjacent, Bar Norte is an intimate space to enjoy a cocktail made with Los Poblanos Botanical Spirits and enjoy a light tasting menu.
From our family to yours, thank you
Thank you to all who have joined us at the table this year, taken respite at the inn and spa, and visited our farm. We wouldn't be here without you. We are grateful for our incredible team's hard work and warm hospitality. And we give thanks to the generations of people who have farmed and preserved this special place in the Rio Grande Valley. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season.

Reviving Heritage Grains in New Mexico
Los Poblanos is proud to be working with the Southwest Grain Collaborative (SGC) to support a renewed grain infrastructure for New Mexico and revive traditional heirloom grains through regenerative organic farming. We are excited to offer a collection of heritage grains, now online and in our retail spaces.
Take time to rest and reset
With migrating birds flying overhead and crisp clear nights perfect for stargazing, the skies truly come alive this time of year. Book a serene escape and take advantage of our Rest and Reset Room Special, with a discounted room rate, luxurious accommodations and a sommelier-selected bottle of wine, with your choice of red or white. Pour a glass, pull up a chair and take in the beauty.

Savor the Season at the Spa
Step back from the brisk pace of fall and catch your breath at the Hacienda Spa. Whether you need a few quiet hours to yourself or a spa day with friends before the rush of the holidays, now is the time to book your seasonal treatments. As we transition into fall and the air gets cooler and drier, support your skin with a hydrating restorative facial or warming, soothing massage. Make a day of it with reservations for Afternoon Tea or a fresh organic meal at Campo.
Welcome Fall on the Farm
Cool, crisp mornings mark the arrival of autumn in the high desert. Roadside stands infuse the air with the unmistakable scent of roasting green chile while hot air balloons float across the horizon. Experience the best of New Mexico with a stay at Los Poblanos this fall. Relax into the season at the Hacienda Spa with botanically-based treatments. Enjoy Campo’s farm-driven organic menus and taste the abundance of the harvest with Rio Grande Valley Cuisine. Wander through the Farm Shop and discover our signature lavender products, Farm Foods collections and more.
Farm Journal: Late Summer on the Farm
Late summer on the farm is a time of increasing harvest and lots of weeding. The rains we have gotten have helped with the scarce water supply, though we have been modifying our irrigation and planting practices over the last few years as we become more concerned with the flow of the river, the ditches and the spotty monsoon season.
Farm Journal: Fruit Trees Boom and Bust Throughout the Seasons
Fruit trees are integrated throughout the landscape at Los Poblanos. We grow a wide variety, each with a distinct season and individual flavor. The farm team meets regularly with the culinary team, and much of what we plant reflects direct requests from chefs, bakers and others who help us to develop a farm that supports the diversity of Los Poblanos. From the mulberry syrup in your cocktail, to a plum tart in the restaurant and the blossoms and branches that adorn our public spaces, fruit trees enliven every season on the farm. Some are hardy and reliable, while others have challenges that can lead to bounty or failure.
Product Highlight: Metal and Woodwork from local maker Damian Velasquez
Damian Velasquez is one of our favorite local artisan fabricators, supplying us with beautifully made wood and metal objects including the chimineas that guests enjoy across Los Poblanos. His son Alex also started a company that makes the wooden paddle boards and titanium spatulas we carry in the Farm Shop. Next time you’re here enjoying s’mores under the stars, thank Damian and his family!
Relax into Summer at the Spa
With longer days and our fields turning purple with lavender, it's time to prepare your skin for summer. As our daily routines shift with the changing weather, our skincare routines should do the same. Seasonal treatments at the Hacienda Spa change every few months and are thoughtfully crafted with our climate and seasonal habits in mind.
