Our FoodLos Poblanos cuisine is rooted in what comes from our farm as well as the region. Our food wanders the line between refined and rugged, borrowing from both haute cuisine and the foods indigenous to New Mexico's Rio Grande River Valley. Los Poblanos often does away with menus in favor of multi-course farm feasts inspired by the day's harvest. For guests attending a meeting, retreat, party, or wedding, it is a private dining experience where the cuisine and ambiance reflect the chef's aesthetic and the farm's long established relationships with local farmers. Local Farmers and Local Ingredients We take pride in the quality of our ingredients, some of which is cultivated on the farm at Los Poblanos. Our menus consistently feature food by the following fine farmers: Los Poblanos Organics - Seasonal organic produce, honey, eggs, and lavender cultivated on our own farm. Shepherd's Lamb - Certified organic grass-fed lamb is produced by the Manzanares family ranch in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. The flock grazes on lush native grasses (wheat grass, grama and fescues) and their favorite shrubs such as mountain mahogany and snowberry giving them their hallmark delicate taste. Other Favorite Farms: Toad Road Farm, Chispas Farms, Pollo Real, Amayo Farms, Old Windmill Dairy, Sweetwoods Dairy, Heidi's Organic Raspberry Farm, and Green Tractor Farm.
