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:

Quick peek into the Silver Leaf plant nursery. Watercress, red leaf lettuce, and purple basil is on its way! #eatsilverleaf #magichour Bernalillo Public Schools just received a full pallet of delicious Corrales Butter Crunch Lettuce. Hoping the kids are excited as we are about the lettuce in their schools!! #eatsilverleaf Giant zucchini leaf. Size 11 shoe for size reference. Each plant has at least 10 leaves that are each around 3-4 feet long. #wow #eatsilverleaf Beautiful shot taken by Anita at the new field. Fall is just around the corner!! #eatsilverleaf Flash Tomato Sale (TODAY AND TOMORROW)!! Tomato season is here! We just had a bumper harvest of some of the nicest heirloom and roma tomatoes that we have grown in a long time. These are all certified organic by the USDA. We want to make sure that we can move all of the fruit, so we are selling these in 10# and 20# flats. We will open up our main farm location for the sale. Please come to 358 Mt Shadows, Corrales NM, 87048 between the hours of 7AM and 530PM today and tomorrow (Aug 30th and 31st). It is our season of abundance, so take advantage of our bumper crop now! #eatsilverleaf First time growing winter squash in a while. Looking like a jungle out there !! #eatsilverleaf Beautiful Roma tomatoes coming out of the field right now. Anyone have a good sauce recipe ?? #eatsilverleaf Grab some tomatoes this weekend at @downtowngrowers @corralesgrowersmarket and lots of delicious restaurants around ABQ!! #Repost @thegrovecafe ・・・ It’s Tomato season ya’ll! 🍅🍅🍅@eatsilverleaf #eatsilverleaf Tomato-town 2018: we have arrived!! #eatsilverleaf This is the best crop of OG eggplant that we have ever grown. These plants were grown in a field that, until last year, was full of weeds, elms, and old junk. #growfoodnotweeds #eatsilverleaf Believe it or not... fall is just around the corner! Healthy starts = healthy plants #eatsilverleaf You shall not pass!!!!! Our resident toad / gatekeeper keeping an eye on intruders. Thanks @anitaadalja for the photo!! #eatsilverleaf We are only a few days away from our first planting on the new field. Most days in the summer require the whole crew to be working from sunrise to sunset. Today is no exception. We are beyond lucky to have such a great crew. Photos like these would not exist without them. #thankafarmer #eatsilverleaf #dreamteam #fieldofdreamteam #fieldofdreams Another great repost from Farmer Aaron : I love the way my phone autocorrects "patty pan" to "party pan". Pretty stoked on this crop! #eatsilverleaf Repost from Farmer Aaron. I think this photo speaks for itself. #greenthumb #tomatoesfordays #eatsilverleaf #knowyourfarmer Beautiful lettuce display at @lamontanitacoop in Santa Fe! It is still a surreal and humbling feeling to see customers we do not know walkout of the store with a few heads of our lettuce. Lots of hard work and passion goes into each head that we grow. We are lucky to have such a great team and steadfast community support. #eatsilverleaf
Hoping your Memorial Day includes some delicious veggies! #eatsilverleaf #pattymcpattypan Cabbage doing their thing in the morning sunlight! #eatsilverleaf
