90 Years of Los Poblanos: The Lord & Burnham Greenhouse

Ninety years ago, Los Poblanos was a model experimental farm and the original headquarters of the 800-acre ranch owned by congress members Albert Simms and Ruth Hanna McCormick Simms. Home to the original Creamland Dairies, it boasted one of the finest purebred herds of Guernsey and Holstein cows in the Southwest. Sugar beets, alfalfa, oats, corn and barley were all grown on the property and purebred rams were raised with the intention of helping sheep herders of the state improve their flocks. In 1934, a Lord & Burnham greenhouse was constructed and utilized by Ruth, an active garden club member who experimented with growing new varieties of roses and chrysanthemums to sell commercially.

We’re raising a glass to the new Los Poblanos Botanical Spirits

We are thrilled to share two new gins developed by our team of farmers, gardeners, herbalists, distillers and mixologists expressing the flavors of Los Poblanos’ historic farm and gardens, and the essence of the Rio Grande Valley. Our western-dry style gin was born by studying and sampling the wide variety of flowers, herbs and native plants that thrive on our small organic farm. This unique blend of 16 botanicals includes piñon resin, rose, violet, hawthorn and chamomile.

Product Highlight: Botanical Fragrances

Breathe in the scent of the desert after rain, New Mexican piñon trees or the Los Poblanos lavender fields with our botanical fragrance collection. Each fragrance is made with pure essential oils distilled in small batches from locally sourced botanicals. Add a touch of aromatherapy to your day or give the perfect gift for anyone with a connection to the Land of Enchantment.

As summer days slowly shorten and extend into cool evenings, now is the perfect time for a Los Poblanos escape.

Introducing Los Poblanos Lemonade

Capturing the taste of summer

Lavender lemonade is a longstanding summer favorite at Los Poblanos. After a hot day in the fields or an afternoon bike ride, there’s nothing more refreshing. For many years we made our lemonade in small batches from a family recipe, cold-steeping culinary lavender in fresh-squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor, serving for special occasions and sharing with lodging and dining guests. 

Celebrate with Us

The Hacienda Spa has been open for a full year and we're incredibly grateful to our community and team for making our first year a success. To celebrate, we've put together a collection of special treatments and summer wellness classes for July and August. Indulge in a restorative lavender experience at the height of our harvest season or add a soothing sound meditation to your treatment.

Introducing the 1922 Blend with La Fonda on the Plaza

We are delighted to present the 1922 Blend product collection, developed in collaboration with La Fonda on the Plaza in Santa Fe. The collection celebrates La Fonda’s 100-year anniversary with a custom-blended signature scent that can be enjoyed as a handmade soap, room mist and candle. Both properties were designed by architect, John Gaw Meem and share a rich history of hospitality. Los Poblanos evolved into an inn as part of a preservation project, and La Fonda has been a model of the great New Mexican hospitality experience.

Enjoy Summer on the Farm
