Food & Farmers
The GrowersBuying from smaller scale local farms, food hubs, and producers is a core component of how we support healthy families, healthy soil, and healthy communities. We prioritize sourcing from farmers utilizing regenerative and sustainable agriculture practices. Mogro is currently in partnership with more than 30 local growers across New Mexico. Some of our farmers are featured below!
|
The FoodIn the summer and fall, about 70-80% of our produce comes from local growers, while in winter and spring, 20-30%. This also allows us to offer more variety, especially during the off-season, to families who may be accustomed to more common food such as bananas, avocados, and oranges.
