The ABQ Resilience Box is a project created and overseen by Middle Rio Grande farmers and producers to get local food and knowledge of farms and farmers directly to their community, while engaging folx traditionally left out of the “local food movement,” and increasing circulation of local economy. It is an annual distribution of local food and products in a box, that increases engagement in and access to the local foodshed of the Middle Rio Grande Valley through mutual aid.
Founded in 2020, the ABQ Resilience box is now in its fourth year and plans to distribute 60 local food boxes on December 2nd, 2023. For every box purchased, a local food box is “redistributed” in community. The boxes also include a zine produced and published by farmers filled with art, words, and recipes to further engage with our land, people, and ecology of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. In 2023, we estimate that $4,000 will be circulated (and re-circulated) in the local economy and 1,170 punds of local food will be distributed within community as a result of this project.
Our community partners this year are MoGro Mobile Grocery to help us distribute to the Islamic Center of New Mexico.
If you would like to redistribute to them directly, you can donate here.
