a micro-farm nestled among mountains, plains, and sky
Welcome to Arroyo Runs Through It
We are a micro-farm seated on 10 quiet acres in the San Pedro Mountains of Northern New Mexico. Our mission is to provide high-quality, nutritious products to our customers while promoting sustainable land stewardship and animal management. We believe in the importance of education, empowerment, and self-sufficiency, and strive to make a positive impact on our community and the environment.
We strive to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem by raising a diverse set of livestock, including sheep, ducks, chickens, and rabbits, while implementing permaculture and dryland water-harvesting techniques to grow nutrient-rich food. Our approach focuses on harmony with nature, promoting biological diversity and resilience on our farm. We prioritize community empowerment by hosting educational workshops covering essential skills such as livestock management, natural building, permaculture design, and humane slaughter and animal processing.

Dylan
Dylan may not have the extensive animal husbandry skills that his wife Nina flaunts, but he’s the go-to farm hand who keeps the wheels of progress turning smoothly. With a knack for following orders and an uncanny ability to operate heavy machinery, he’s often at the helm of a tractor or crafting something on a whim that Nina suddenly decides she needs. His laid-back demeanor ensures that chaos never takes hold, even when chaos seems inevitable. When he’s not knee-deep in farm projects, you'll find him managing a water treatment plant, orchestrating mining reclamation efforts, or boldly scaling towering rocks—often sans ropes, much to Nina's chagrin.
Nina
Nina’s the farm boss with a heart full of vision and big ideas. She’s been working with small ruminants and other livestock since a child and now you’ll find her tending to her diverse menagerie of farm critters while dreaming up the next big project. When she’s not plugging away at farm chores or new projects, Nina channels her passion as the Director for Quivira Coalition's Carbon Ranch Initiative, collaborating with ranchers to build soil health and foster resilience on working lands across the Southwest. In the fleeting moments of spare time, you’ll find her touring trails on her beloved bike or wandering the woods with her three pups in tow.
