Farm Journal: Early spring in the hives

In early spring, we watch the hives wake up as fruit trees blossom and daffodils emerge from the soil. As early flowers offer their first pollen, worker bees venture out on warmer afternoons, a welcome sight after months of winter quiet.

Welcoming pastry chef Natalie Basarov

At Los Poblanos, the bakery is an extension of our Rio Grande Valley cuisine, shaped by the seasons, guided by the hands that tend it and rooted in a sense of place. We are pleased to introduce Pastry Chef Natalie Basarov, whose return to New Mexico brings both a personal homecoming and a thoughtful vision for the bakery and pastry program.

Los Poblanos Yoga Retreats: Q&A with instructor Colleen Kerns

Yoga retreats at Los Poblanos include classes with multiple instructors, each bringing their unique style and experience to share with the group and deepen your practice. The fall retreat will be led by Colleen Kerns, who brings a unified framework designed to meet each participant where they are—in yoga and in life—and build connection with the group.

A sweet partnership between people and pollinators

We are thrilled to introduce our new honey collection, made possible through our partnership with Bear Canyon Honey. Bear Canyon embodies the interconnection of the hive by uniting beekeepers from Taos to Las Cruces and in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. Their work has helped build a strong network of local honey suppliers, support healthy ecosystems and celebrate a growing community of backyard beekeepers.  

90 Years of Los Poblanos: The Rose Greely Garden

90 Years of Los Poblanos: The Historic Hacienda

Nestled in an original, historic home designed by the father of Santa Fe style,  the Hacienda Spa is an intimate space that encourages a sensory spa experience. With over 90 years of history, this important structure has been home to three families and opened its doors to countless guests.  

A Visit to (and from) Martin Woods Winery

Our team of chefs and sommeliers have been long-time fans of Martin Woods Winery, and Evan Martin, winemaker/vigneron of Martin Woods has strong ties to New Mexico. Campo regulars will be familiar with some of these special Willamette Valley wines on our menu, and we have enjoyed building a relationship with Evan over the years. His approach to wine-making is built on the same respect for the land and sustainable practices that drive our mission at Los Poblanos. 

In anticipation of our upcoming long-table dinner and wine seminar featuring Martin Woods wines, a team of our chefs and sommeliers traveled to Oregon in January to explore Evan's cellar, visit the vineyards and collaborate on ideas for a one-of-a-kind menu. Head Chef, Chris Bethoney, Director of Wine and Spirits, Dylan Storment, Head Sommelier, Graham Unverzagt and Lead Event Cook, Tom Hudgens have created an inspired menu blending Rio Grande Valley Cuisine with the distinct flavors of Oregon for a uniquely place-based dining experience.
