Eloy and Anita Roybal raise Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW) laying hens on pasture and range at Monte Azul Farms in Mora, New Mexico. They are members of Los de Mora Local Growers’ Cooperative, Inc., a producer-owned cooperative made up of 35 family farms and ranches in the area. Selling through a cooperative can offer many advantages. For example, by aggregating and coordinating supply, the individual family farm members can secure larger market opportunities that would be impossible to achieve on their own, while cooperatives offer consumers the opportunity to purchase fresh, locally-produced food at a fair price.
