J & L Gardens is home to over 350 varieties of tomatoes and rare vegetables from our rich heritage of heirloom and open pollinated types.
Our farm is in the fertile upper Rio Grande river valley near Espanola, New Mexico. In addition to tomatoes, we take melons and cucumbers, apples and other fruits , along with specialty potatoes and garlic to farmer's markets and restaurants in Santa Fe and Los Alamos. All our garden vegetables and fruit are raised using traditional, natural methods.
In addition we develop new varieties and release several each year. And we offer seed for many of the varieties we grow at a reasonable price.
