Farm Journal: As winter comes to a close

Farm favorites Mouse the cat and JD the peacock.

Winter at Los Poblanos is a quiet, peaceful time of respite for our farm and grounds team. But as the days start to lengthen, the soil warms up and preparations for the growing season begin. Tilling, pruning, fertilizing and propagation are routine this time of year as we anticipate the arrival of spring.

Winter at the Hacienda Spa

As we settle into winter, our daily routines adapt to the daylight hours and we shift our self-care and skincare routines to align with the season. Whether you are searching for the perfect last-minute gift, planning your recovery from a busy holiday season or looking forward to a reset for the new year, the Hacienda Spa awaits. View our treatment menu, seasonal specials and wellness offerings to plan the ultimate luxurious experience.

Spend Winter on the Farm

From the first breath of crisp high desert air to the scent of piñon in the fireplaces, winter at Los Poblanos is nothing short of magical. Our restorative spa treatments, seasonal Rio Grande Valley Cuisine and 25 acres to explore make it easy to immerse yourself on the farm without ever turning on your car. Wander through the Farm Shop and discover our artisan lavender and Farm Foods collections, sign up for yoga, tours, dining events and more on our calendar. Trust us, a one-night stay won't be long enough.

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.
