Our story

What began as a way to provide for our own family has grown into a passion for raising quality beef, preserving heritage New Mexico Dahl sheep, gathering fresh eggs, and sharing the traditions of ranching with our community. Every animal we raise and every decision we make is guided by integrity, stewardship, and a commitment to leaving the land better for future generations.

We're especially proud to help preserve the New Mexico Dahl sheep—a rare heritage breed believed to trace its roots back to the earliest Spanish sheep brought to the Southwest. Their history, resilience, and unique characteristics make them an important part of New Mexico's agricultural heritage, and we're honored to play a role in ensuring their legacy continues.

Whether it's pasture-raised beef, custom finishing options, breeding stock, or fresh eggs, we believe knowing where your food comes from matters. That's why we strive to raise every animal with care, respect, and transparency—from our ranch to your family's table.

Our commitment extends beyond the animals we raise. As participants in the Rio Grande Agricultural Land Trust, and as we continue exploring conservation programs to improve soil health and strengthen our land, we're dedicated to protecting the natural resources and agricultural traditions that make New Mexico so special.

At the end of the day, 1692 Farm is about more than livestock. It's about preserving a heritage, caring for the land, and sharing a way of life built on hard work, honesty, and respect for the generations that came before us—and those still to come.
