Producer

RJ’s Legacy is a small family farm that promotes improved local access to healthy foods. Their purpose initially was to ensure that their family and extended family had access to healthy foods. They now hope to share their produce with children in local school districts to ensure they also have access to locally grown, healthy foods. 

Through Farm to Table's New Mexico Farmer Innovation Program Micro Grant, RJ’s Legacy, led by Betsy Yazzie, has expanded production and deepened their regenerative agriculture practices on their family farm in Shiprock. With support from the program, the team added 15 new acres of production and worked to improve soil health and resilience in the face of a changing climate. RJ’s Legacy stives to strengthen local food systems while honoring land stewardship and regenerative practices that benefit future generations.
