Tripping Down a Land of Enchantment Memory Lane

We got a belated Christmas letter from our friends in New Mexico this weekend and learned that there’s a fabulous new co-op in the area where I used to live near Ojo Sarco. The Dixon Market, in addition to providing food for locals, supports small farming and sustainable agricultural operations. Dixon Market hosts a weekly farmers market (through October) that boasts, what I’m sure are outstanding tamales and tortillas. [I also learned from our friends that Sipapu lift tix are only 40 bucks. A great deal. When I was skiing, there were no chair lifts, just a rope to pull my 6th-grade class up the mountain. I’d save my money to buy peppermint sticks and hot chocolate after I made it back down the mountain. I see from their site that kids 6 and under are still free!] Image: I can’t tell if Farmgirl Sylvia Vergara of La Carreta sells at Dixon, but her small farm and gallery are worth a look.
