Meet Us

Aaron:

AARON KEEPS HIS DAILY BURRITO INTAKE TO AROUND 2.5. ANYTHING BELOW THAT FOR HIM IS CHILD'S PLAY.

 

Aaron's interest for growing things began when he was in elementary school. He eventually started a small vegetable garden and by the time that he graduated from high school he had decided that he was going to be a farmer. The garden quickly grew (no pun) into a half-acre of mixed veggies. Every year since then Aaron has picked up new pieces of farming equipment as well as new pieces of land. He now oversees over 7 acres of outdoor and indoor vegetable cultivation.

Elan:

RUMOR HAS IT THAT ELAN HOLDS THE STATE WATERMELON-EATING CONTEST TITLE.

 

Elan's interest in growing things took off while he was in college. He spent time doing research in a plant biology laboratory as well as working in the field of climate change and food security. These experiences helped shape his view on food, culture, and society. It took 7 years and lots of travel, but Elan is now more excited than ever to be working on the farm in Corrales. 

 

Farm Scenes:

We are humbled and honored to have been voted as “best farm” in the Albuquerque area by the readers of the Edible New Mexico magazine. Huge shoutout to the entire Silver Leaf Crew for making the dream a reality. Also- many thanks to everyone else who have joined us on this adventure! #eatsilverleaf @ediblenewmexico First Silver Leaf Snackers of 2019 are about to make their way into the greenhouse!! Can’t wait for these lil babies to grow up :) #eatsilverleaf New projects underway in anticipation for our best growing season yet!! #eatsilverleaf The final numbers are in !! We donated 18,657 lbs of certified organic produce in 2018! This is only possible because of YOU! We grade and sort our produce with the highest standards in mind and expect to get a fair price for our product. In return, we do not have to nickel and dime every customer to buy our ‘seconds’ and instead can donate this produce to a network of food pantries around ABQ. Big shoutout to @seed2need and the crew for making the logistics of this possible. #eatsilverleaf In New Mexico you can tell a lot about someone’s personality just by asking them this simple question, “red or green?” Maybe one day people here will say they want “x-mas” for their salad 😆. Which do you prefer?? #eatsilverleaf #xmas #redorgreen Anyone ever seen this before?? @johnnys_seeds @highmowingorganicseeds ?#eatsilverleaf Lots of great things to be thankful for this year on the farm. This is a photo of our last load of produce headed to one of many food banks around town. Our neighbors - @seed2need - have helped coordinate the donation of over 15,000 lbs (!!) of Silver Leaf produce throughout the 2018 growing season. We are grateful that during times of abundance we can share our harvests with those who are less fortunate. We hope everyone enjoys a warm meal tonight !! #eatsilverleaf First winter market is happening today!! 10-1 @ the Fusion Theater on Lomas and First. See you there !! 🍂It’s that time again!🍂 .
