Meet our new Director of Hospitality Operations

Bienvenidos a Nuevo México, Kim!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Kim Vollers and her wonderful family to New Mexico and into the Los Poblanos community. If you've been on the property since May 1st, you've likely seen her as she is constantly on the move and loves meeting guests. As our new Director of Hospitality Operations, Kim oversees lodging, guest services, dining operations, events, programming, grounds maintenance and facilities on our small-but-mighty 25 acre farm. It's a huge job and with over 25 years of hospitality experience, the majority of which was spent at the Woodstock Inn & Resort in Vermont, she is an ideal fit for Los Poblanos.

Our Herbal Bug Repellent Collection has grown

Keep 'em at bay

Los Poblanos has an all-natural answer to seasonal insects. Our Herbal Bug Repellent and beautiful new terracotta Candle both use a powerful essential oil blend including citronella, eucalyptus, cedarwood, lemongrass and our own home-grown, home-distilled lavender to create an effective and safe repellent for small insects.

Product Highlight: Los Poblanos Bar Soap Collection

Get to know our handmade soaps

The Los Poblanos Handmade Soap Collection features unique scent combinations inspired by the land and culture of New Mexico. Each handmade, cold pressed soap has an all-natural, moisturizing base recipe, which has been developed and tested over the past ten years to provide a perfectly mild and nourishing experience. Our five signature soaps highlight the many botanicals of the farm, and are handmade in our production facility just a few miles from our lavender fields.

The road to reopening

With recent regulation updates, we are so grateful and excited to be reopening our gates. The farm just hasn't been the same without you here! We've taken great care to develop our Well-being Hospitality Model, with safety, health and comfort for our staff and guests as the highest priority as we slowly reopen. From sanitizer and hand washing stations to newly created services and amenities, we have thoughtfully reimagined the experience to ensure the well-being of everyone on property. 

Our Lavender Sanitizer line is expanding

Introducing Our New Lavender Sanitizer Hand Spray

The Los Poblanos Lavender Sanitizer Collection is growing! We are so excited to introduce you to our Lavender Sanitizer Hand Spray.

Keep clean on the go with our Lavender Sanitizer Hand Spray, available in a 1 oz amber glass bottle that is the ideal size for your pocket or tossed in your bag. You’ll constantly reach for this hand spray when running errands, traveling or camping with the family. After over a year of development, our production team has crafted a liquid spray sanitizer that not only refreshes hands, but blends our own home-grown, home-distilled lavender and a touch of rose water to offer an aromatherapeutic boost. Lavender has been used for thousands of years for its natural healing and antiseptic properties, and effortlessly lends itself for use in a sanitizer.

Road trip to the farm

Summer travel looks a little different this year, and we think there's something exciting about loading up the car and exploring our own backyard. Our 25 acres of gardens and open space encourage a relaxing agritourism experience, and our Well-being Hospitality Model is in place to ensure comfort and care for our staff, guests and community. With our serene property as your destination, and plenty of activities and amenities to keep you busy here, we hope you'll hit the road and visit us soon.

A Los Poblanos hero: Aldo Leopold

We feel very fortunate to be in New Mexico right now, with vast open spaces, fresh air and big blue skies, and are thankful for the time to walk in the Bosque or in the city's acres of Open Space. One of our heroes at Los Poblanos is the great conservationist Aldo Leopold, whose many years in New Mexico left an impressive environmental legacy on our state. His work in Albuquerque lead to the creation of the Rio Grande Valley State Park, Zoo, Botanic Gardens and Rio Grande Nature Center. In fact, the Nature Center is just down the street from our farm, and is a gateway to the Aldo Leopold Forest and Trail. 

Welcome back to the farm

We are overjoyed to begin slowly welcoming lodging guests back to the farm with safety, health and comfort as our highest priorities. With 25 acres of gardens and open space, the agritourism experience at Los Poblanos is ideal for physical and mental well-being. Our Inn rooms feature multiple operable windows to allow a cross draft of fresh air to spill in, and our patio doors let in the warm, sunny afternoon and chilly evening air to encourage a restorative night's sleep. With organic cotton sheets and robes, hardwood floors instead of wall-to-wall carpeting, a fully organic menu at Campo and sweeping views of the North Valley, Los Poblanos provides a healthy and serene retreat. 

Our James Beard Best Chef Finalist

After being recognized six times as a semi-finalist for the James Beard Best Chef Southwest Award, we are so thrilled to announce that our own Chef Jonathan Perno has advanced this year as a finalist. The prestigious James Beard Awards Foundation's mission is to celebrate, nurture and honor chefs and other leaders making America's food culture more delicious, diverse and sustainable for everyone.

The James Beard Foundation grants the premiere awards for the culinary industry and has recognized Chef Jonathan amongst just five other talented chefs in our region and only 67 chefs nationally. Representing New Mexico within this distinguished and respected organization, Chef Jonathan's talents and dedication are now celebrated on a national level. We are so proud of his incredible accomplishment. With over a decade spent at Los Poblanos, Chef Jonathan's creativity and passion has truly crafted the Los Poblanos model of Rio Grande Valley Cuisine, and is a stunning example of what hard work and determination can build.

While we look forward to seeing you at Campo as soon as it reopens, we invite you to experience Chef Jonathan's artistry by ordering Campo Curbside, available Wednesday through Sunday.

We’d love your feedback

Well-being in the truest sense

We have always taken the concept of well-being seriously at Los Poblanos. Well-being in tourism can sometimes mean some form of personal actualization, but it's also about being healthy, happy and comfortable. For us, it's also about doing the right thing, whether that's farming sustainably or celebrating our rich culture, and we hope that translates to guests feeling good, both physically and mentally. With the long tree-lined entry beginning to bloom, we've begun crafting our reopening strategy. And with that, we're considering what well-being means today, and what it will mean over the next year.
