Today, meet Jesse. Jesse owns Amyo Farms, another local supplier for Farm & Table. In addition to selling to local restaurants like us, Amyo Farms’ produce is also available at the Downtown and Nob Hill Growers’ Markets (the latter of which he helped found) and through the farm’s CSA. Amyo Farms has been a huge part of Albuquerque’s local agriculture. For more information, you can visit Amyo’s website.
Jesse’s favorite thing he’s harvesting: Peppers, because of the great flavor and huge variety.
Jesse’s favorite thing about owning Amyo: “The money, of course!” he jokes with a smile. “Really, the freedom.”
Come back every day this week as we continue to celebrate Moveable Feast and Local Food Month by introducing you to more local faces at Farm & Table! Also, don’t forget that tonight is Artichoke Cafe’s Moveable Feast!
