Company Description

Nearly two centuries ago, the dust swirled around the plow and the New Mexico sun beat down relentlessly on the brow of the freshly arrived German wheat grower turned homestead owner. Andreas handled his team with care as the fertile soil yielded to the plow and visions of mature peach trees laden under the burden of a bumper crop pushed the young farmer expectantly forward despite the sweltering heat. Andreas made good on his plans. The orchard grew, frankly it flourished, but that was nearly two centuries ago, yet in some ways little has changed on that same piece of land.

Peculiar Farms, a farm of tomorrow, with roots in yesteryear offers the community a wide variety of heirloom and traditional vegetables and fruits for the discerning palette. Flavor is at the heart of sustainability, no sooner is the vegetable harvested, than flavor and beauty decline. Our promise is the highest quality in taste and presentation to make the consumer feel as though they just picked the produce outside their screen door, even though they live in a loft apartment in the busy heart of Albuquerque or Santa Fe.
