Does the institution host a farmers' market for the community?:
A brief description of the farmers’ market:
In our Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) "Plant and Environmental Sciences" department we have a student organization that focuses on growing local plants and flowers as well as floral design. The students not only compete, but they sell their plants and flowers that are grown on campus. Our flower group has won many awards for their flower arranging.
Another student organization in ACES is Horticulture Forum. They grow organic plants of all types in greenhouses on campus. Their plants are sold during the semester. They grow and sell local chile and tomato plants to campus faculty, staff, and students as well as to the public. http://aces.nmsu.edu/academics/clubs/hortforum/
In our ACES college we have The Chile Pepper Institute where we grow and sell New Mexico chiles. The program in renowned internationally for their research and knowledge on this hot plant! We have sales on all types of plants, seeds, and even chile-infused chocolate brownie mixes. http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/
