A visitor writes on August 17, 2016: "Cool website. I noticed that you requested info about Wagner's Farm and in New Mexico (Albuquerque and Central area). The Farmland Experience website is still there: http://www.wagnersfarmlandexperience.com/ ,and there's a Wagner's Farm store in Corrales, NM, 5000 Corrales Rd.-Corrales, NM 87048- Sandoval County. I\'m not sure about a phone number, and I'm not familiar with the Wagner's spot in Los Lunas. I never go that direction. They have a large selection of local produce, open seasonally from July 15 to about November 15. Produce: corn, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peaches, watermelon, cantelope, onions, bell pepper, pinto beans, peaches, pears, canned goods, apples, pumpkins, and fresh green chile that can be roasted on the premises. Nope, chile is not spelled wrong. That's a NM thing. Also a little snack area called the Apple Tree Cafe, with the same seasonal schedule. "

Flower Picking Tips, and Information

Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own flowers are becoming more common.

  • Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
  • Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
  • Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
