Report from the lavender fields

Lavender field 2025

If you have visited the farm recently, you may have noticed that our lavender fields look a little different this year. While they may not be as full as in years past, there is a deeper story behind what you are seeing—one of natural cycles, climate challenges and the realities of regenerative farming in a complex environment.

Supporting the pollinators we love

Lavender in bloom

In the warmth of late spring, the gentle hum of bees rises from our fields and historic gardens. This sound signals more than summer's return—it reflects the vitality of a landscape carefully nurtured through regenerative farming and a deep respect for nature. Our approach to land stewardship depends on a thriving community of pollinators.

Rooted in resilience

On Arbor Day, we pause to honor the quiet strength and generosity of trees. At Los Poblanos, trees are far more than a scenic backdrop — they are central to our regenerative farming practices, ecological philosophy and deep sense of place in the Rio Grande Valley.

Across the property, trees create microclimates that shield tender crops, shelter wildlife and shape the rhythm of the seasons. From flowering orchard to shaded bosque, their presence supports our regenerative agriculture and sustainable land management practices in the high desert landscape of Albuquerque’s North Valley.
