A quarter acre of flowering plants established 22-years ago by Alvarado Elementary School.
SunChaser Solar Trailer
A tool built by New Mexico Solar Energy Association, ACE Leadership High School, and New Mexico Technical Institute and enriching our sustainability education.
Fungal-dominant Compost
Significantly increasing our crop production with a slurry of fungal-dominant compost from a dedicated Johnson-Su digester.
Agrivoltaic Research
Growing crops below solar panels to improve photosynthesis, humic acid, and soil moisture while providing power.
Bird Cropping
Sorghum, hairy vetch, oats, and winter wheat forage crops are planted for native and migrating birds.
