a micro-farm nestled among mountains, plains, and sky
Welcome to Arroyo Runs Through It
We are a micro-farm located on 10 acres of piñon-juniper woodlands and native grasslands in Northern New Mexico. Our operation is sustained entirely by rainwater catchment—there is no well on the property—so we manage our resources with great care. We currently raise dairy sheep, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. Our mission is to provide nourishing food, thoughtfully crafted farm products, and meaningful educational opportunities to our hyper-local community.

Dylan
Dylan may not claim the same depth of animal know-how that his wife, Nina, brings to the farm, but he’s the steady hand that keeps everything moving forward. He has a talent for jumping into whatever task is needed—whether that’s running heavy machinery, fixing something that broke five minutes ago, or helping Nina with her endless list of projects and goals. His easygoing nature keeps things calm when farm life inevitably throws a curveball. Off the property, he manages a water treatment plant, leads mining reclamation work, and enjoys scaling rock formations (usually without ropes, much to Nina’s dismay).
Nina
Nina’s the farm boss with a few too many ideas, diving into multiple projects at once, but excited to do it all. She discovered her love for farming and working in harmony with nature at just sixteen, when a spontaneous decision to buy a few dairy goats led her to an internship at a local goat creamery in her home state of Vermont. Since then, she has traveled the world learning different approaches farming and animal husbandry through WWOOF, inevitably leading to her starting her own operation. When she’s not tending to her never-ending project list, you can find her practicing yoga or out for a multi-day bikepacking adventure.
