Farmer Highlight: New Mexico Prickly Pear Jelly
New Mexico Prickly Pear Jelly is a woman-minority family-owned business. We farm one of the most bountiful cactus fruits that the land of enchantment offers. Our farm is set in the East Mountains of ABQ, where cacti grow abundantly because of the rich soil, sun, and snow/rain (when it comes). For the last 8 years, our family has planted and grown various Prickly Pear Cactus from which we make jams. Our pre-existing flavors are prickly pear, prickly pear with oranges called orange marmalade, and prickly pear with hatch green chile. This year, we launched our newest flavor called Desert Sun. This plant's pears are light red outside and look like white peach inside. This variety of Prickly Pear is sweeter (naturally) and has a distinct flavor and texture, unlike the original fruit. Once processed, it turns yellow, like our beautiful desert sun, thus the name.
Because we love the environment, we are a zero-waste company. This means that after cooking, we have waste, which consists of skin and seeds. From this, we make vegan soaps. In this manner, nothing goes to waste.

Our Mission
The Corrales Growers’ Market operates to support the traditional agricultural economics of the Village of Corrales and to provide community access to sustainable sources of locally grown food. We support the preservation of farmland, the sustainability of family farms and local agricultural production by providing agricultural producers a marketing facility for the sale of their products directly to consumers.
