During a 2024 visit to Santa Fe, Dr. Alireza Nurbakhsh, founder of the Sufi Service Committee, set out a vision: to grow food for the local American Indian community. To make it happen, the SSC formed an Agriculture Land Use subcommittee, knowing from the start this would be a long-term effort in the challenging high-desert climate.
Throughout 2024 we shaped the vision, mission, and goals, and in 2025 we began building a small local farm, working with three permaculture specialists to design greenhouse growing suited to the area.
Now in 2026 our first crops have arrived, and our first food gifts are going to the Santa Fe Indigenous Center. Our next delivery will include lettuces, spinach, carrots, radishes, bunching onions, snow peas, sugar snap peas, and fresh herb bundles.
