Grass-Fed Beef in New Mexico: Where to Buy
New Mexico's high-desert grasslands, mountain meadows, and the Jornada del Muerto basin have supported cattle ranching since Spanish colonial times, making it one of the longest-running livestock regions in North America. Sweet Mercy Farms, in Albuquerque's Rio Grande Bosque area, raises cattle 100% grass-fed and grass-finished on the region's indigenous grasses, sold by farm pickup, Saturday metro delivery, the Downtown Growers Market, and online shipping, with a 4.8-star rating across 27 Yelp reviews. Natural Grocers has strong statewide coverage, and Albuquerque's La Montañita Food Co-op is one of the best natural grocery cooperatives in the Southwest for locally sourced beef.
