The Cultivating Bernalillo County ‘Grow the Growers’ program is a comprehensive farm training and business acceleration initiative designed to attract new and emerging farmers into professional food production. Grow the Growers is a partnership between Agri-Cultura Network, Bernalillo County, Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension and Ciudad Soil and Water Conservation District. The Grow-the-Growers partners are committed to strengthening the local food economy by nurturing the next generation of food entrepreneurs.
The Grow the Growers program is based at the historic Gutiérrez-Hubbell Open Space in Bernalillo County’s South Valley. In order to learn diverse farm production and business operation methods, Grow the Growers participants also work with partner farms to enhance their educational experiences.
This is a tuition-free education program offered for individuals interested in farming. We offer three levels of participation designed to nurture the next generation of food entrepreneurs.
