Cultivo project makes national news!
As Cultivo wraps up our second season, we’ve made national news!
Originally published in The Daily Yonder—a newspaper dedicated to storytelling about rural community life—the article has since been picked up by the Associated Press and is making a big splash nationwide. Read the story here!
We’re thrilled about the success of the project in its second year. This season, we:
Employed 14 teen interns at the farm
Supported 4 interns at the Questa Farmers Market
Worked with 3 apprentices and 7 mentors
Grew produce distributed to CSA members, the Questa Farmers Market, the North Country Food Pantry, and local businesses across Taos County
Huge props to Program Director Gaea McGahee and Farmer/Educator Daniel Carmona for nurturing such an incredible project!

High Desert Hounds - Fundraiser for the Vulnerable Dogs of Taos County
As many are aware, the animal welfare crisis in Taos County has worsened exponentially in the past several months. With no viable shelter in the town or county, many have been left in the cold and have bred even more puppies contributing to the ever growing over population problem.
Our mission is to provide emergency housing and resources for the vulnerable and homeless dogs of Taos County.
In addition to emergency housing for these animals, we aim to provide vet care and essential needs while promoting compassion and civic responsibility through humane education programs and spreading public awareness.
We are accepting donations to aid in this mission as well as donations directly to vet care. These can be called in to Taos Vet and put under High Desert Hounds at 575-758-7310.

Questa Story Boxes & the Community Memory Lab
An update from Questa Stories
Claire Cote
This year we’re continuing our Voices de Aquí series, but changing our approach to sharing these stories. When you’re at Questa Farmers Market keep your eye out for two wooden boxes with headphones each featuring a story and bio of one of our community members. These listening units are fun, interactive ways to share stories, learn about and appreciate one another and get to know our community a little better.
We’re collaborating with Questa Library to develop a Community Memory Lab and Archive onsite at the Library as well. We're gathering equipment and strategizing on ways it can serve. Get in touch if you'd like to be involved with this! Questa Stories has also been attending local events recording audio, video and taking photos and adding this documentation to the community archive at QuestaStories.org and on harddrives at Questa Library and soon to be added to the Manitos Community Memory Archive (expected to go live soon).
In the coming months we’re looking forward to offering hands-on photography and cyanotype story workshops in local schools in collaboration with local photographer, Jamey Bryant.
We continue to improve and add content to our website QuestaSories.org. Visit us there and @questastories on Instagram and Facebook
