New Mexico Agriculture Interview - Enchantment: a New Mexican Cookbook, Over 1,200 Traditional Recipes!

New Mexican Food Suppliers Interview Project

Thank you for participating in an interview about your farm or ranch. This is an exciting project to gather interviews with the owners or representives of New Mexico’s most iconic food suppliers. Your interview will be posted on the NewMexicanCookbook.com website and potentially another website if I can get enough interviews.

I’ve provided a series of questions below. Please do not feel like you need to complete each and every question. The more questions you can answer, the better, however. There is also a section at the bottom where you can include photographs of your farm or ranch.

It is my hope that this interview will help bring attention as well as additional customers to your farm or ranch. So curl up with a cup of coffee or your favorite drink and tell everyone all about your favorite farm or ranch — yours!
