Across northeastern New Mexico, getting fresh food from local farms to schools, senior centers, and families can be a challenge.
That’s where Ogallala Commons comes in. Led by Berlin Ervin, they connect local producers with the communities they serve — aggregating harvests, handling logistics, and helping farmers focus on growing.
With support from the Healthy Food Financing Fund, a new cold storage facility is strengthening the region’s entire food network.
As Berlin says: “New Mexico grown means New Mexicans feeding New Mexicans.”
We’re investing in the people who grow our food, strengthening local economies, and making healthy food more accessible — one farm, one family, one community at a time.
