Los Ranchos Agri-Nature Center
Albuquerque / THE ROOM
Why this room makes the map
The Agri-Nature Center is a working farm owned by the Village of Los Ranchos, so an event here happens between pasture and old vineyard rows in the North Valley. It is home to the Los Ranchos Growers Market and hosts farm festivals and permitted private events.
About the room
The village bought the former Anderson Valley Vineyards property to keep it as open space, then added the Anderson Fields to the north, bringing it past 40 acres. Named for Larry P. Abraham, it runs a soils lab, a 30-plot community garden and a flock of churro sheep for its fiber program.
