Fat Duck Farm
A New Mexico Organic Farm

Fat Duck Farm is located 45 miles southeast of Santa Fe in the Pecos River Valley. A mixture of gardens, pasture, dry land, and bosque, we are nestled in the mesa foothills of the Sangre de Cristos. Using organic methods we strive to maintain healthy soil, which in turn provides us with very delicious and nutritious food. Our process includes encouraging diversity, making compost and planting in synch with the forces of nature and the cosmos

.Fat Duck Farm is a 15 acre farm, located on the Pecos river about 45 minutes east of Santa Fe. We have an integrated diversity of products and processes. Most of our farm is in irrigated perennial pastures. These pastures are grazed with beef steers and chickens using principles of intensive rotational grazing. We use portable electric fencing and portable housing to continually move the animals to fresh pasture which improves the health of the animals, the pasture plants, and the soil. After a few years in perennial pasture fields are turned over and planted with row crops. We grow over 40 different varieties of vegetables and flowers. Usually we have about 2 acres of the farm in these crops in any given year. We also have a small but rapidly expanding orchard with apples, peaches, plums, nectarines, raspberries, asparagus, apricots, perennial herbs, beehives, and more. We try to integrate the farm animals, the wildlife, the plants, the people, the soil, the water, and the machinery on our farm to create a healthy, integrated farm organism.
