Welcome to Erda Gardens and Learning Center, CSA!

We are a small, Community Supported Agriculture farm currently located at several sites in the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Our mission is to provide fresh, healthy produce in a manner that preserves and enhances local farmland, to build community through shared work, play, education and food, and to be an evolving model of sustainable agriculture that connects humans, wildlife and the environment.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system by which people can purchase a share of the harvest at the beginning of the season in order to provide support to the farmer and become more closely connected with their food source, their farmer, and the Earth. Members are encouraged to come and volunteer in the garden.

As a member/shareholder of Erda Gardens and Learning Center, you will receive fresh locally grown, biodynamic and pesticide free produce once a week for the entirety our 26 week growing season from early May to late October.

We also host celebrations, educational workshops, study groups, and other great community events throughout the season that are free for Erda members.

Shares are still available for the 2008 growing season!

Download an application here.



Share distribution for the 2008 season starts Wednesday, May 7th and continues through late October.
There are many ways to get involved. Most of our workshops are open to the general public, and there are a multitude of opportunities to work/trade, volunteer, learn or even work a full season as an intern in the garden.

We also sell our produce to nonmembers at the Nob Hill Growers Market at Lead and Morningside during the season on Thursdays from 3-7.
