Belen Farmer's Market

I elect Valencia Community Gardens group for promoting organic gardens throughout Valencia County and NM. Recently this group was reported in the Valencia News-Bulletin as having been selected by Governor Richardson's Community Initiatives to act as a pilot program for promoting organic gardens throughout NM. They were also invited by Tom Trujillo Director of Engage New Mexico to participate in the 2009 Conference on Aging. This group is in need of money in order to promote building community gardens by recruiting volunteers to grow food and other plants in an organic environment and to guide others to do the same. They have a NM non-profit status and are currently applying for federal non-profit status.
