“Thank you again for organizing the festival. It truly was one of the best run shows we’ve been to!” —Colin Dyck, Mudslide Stoneware
“What an amazing event! The concept in itself was creative and obviously aligned with the interests of a wide variety of participants—us included. Our family represented three generations (from age sixty-four to nine months), and we all found things to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the sourdough bread-making presentation, the demonstration/tasting experience from the Algodones Distillery, the Darlands’ sampling of balsamic vinegars, and the animals in the children’s area. We appreciated being able to purchase some of those items we tasted and liked,and being able to support those local NM folks.” —Tom and Jeanne Vosburgh, attendees
