NM Oxfam Action Corps at the Grower's Market

Just as the sun was coming up on Saturday, farmers and artists from different communities in New Mexico were polishing the final touches on their produce spreads, gluten free products, and even a Zia shirt stand. The Albuquerque downtown Grower's Market brought foodies and craft enthusiasts to scope out what local artisans were selling. In a culture where some think we're slipping further away from the food system, the farmers market was a community of invested, thoughtful, and hungry neighbors. Discussions about food and justice played a huge role at the New Mexico Oxfam Action Corps table. We also introduced the GROW method: 5 simple principles to help fix the food system. Here are the highlights:

The Grow Method:

1. Save food

2. Eat seasonal

3. Consume less meat

4. Support local farmers

5. Cook smart!

ABQ Downtown Grower's Market: Saturdays 7 a.m. - 12 p.m.
