Farmers in Mora Valley are working together to encourage one another to improve their ability to raise healthy locally grown food.

Agriculture has deep roots in Mora Valley and the surrounding communities. Many families in the valley continue to raise gardens.

One family in Encinal is supporting the effort to “grow more farmers” by offering their ranch as a demonstration site.

Johnny and Peggy Boney and neighbor, Mabel Medina, are helping provide a place so that local farmers can learn by example.

Happiness is having what we call “always friends” come by, come back for a visit. Such was the case recently when our long- ago neighbors showed up to talk about our fun old times here when they lived just up the road from or ranch headquarters.
