& Harvest ! Our theme for the cover this month celebrates our bountiful local harvest. We begin with a spotlight featuring the family farm. We met with and interviewed Evie Schwebach, who with her husband Dean own Schwebach Farm in Moriarty, New Mexico. We also met several of their kids (six children help out on the farm). This is a story about maintaining a tradition of family farming while continuing to produce delicious and healthy foods for their family and the community. Next we bring you a comprehensive listing of Farmers’ Markets in our readership area, as well as some information about the non-profit organization, the New Mexico Farmers’ Marketing Association, that works to keep the state’s many Farmers’ Market viable and sustainable.
In August we filmed a press conference with some good news about a new cooperative grocery project in Santa Fe. Greenhouse Grocery is a work-in-progress and is actively recruiting members to bring their dream of a new coop grocery in the Siler District of Santa Fe, to be located on the grounds of the former Santa Fe Greenhouses. Las Chivas Coffee Roaster in Eldorado is celebrating their 20th anniversary, and has moved to a new location in the La Tienda Shopping Center, across Avenida Vista Grande from their location during their first 20 years of providing quality coffees, teas, fresh foods and community involvement. Our next feature reminds all in our community of the need to support our local volunteer fire departments and to consider volunteering.

Fresh sweet corn on ice - Schwebach Farm Market - Moriarty, New Mexico Corridor staff photo by Debbie LaRouche
Evie tells us about their crops and why they grow what they grow. “Sweet corn is one of our main crops. We grow Pinto beans and an heirloom bean called the Bolita. The Bolita was actually believed to have been brought into the States before Pintos were, by the Spaniards. People in Northern New Mexico and in Southern Colorado primarily eat Bolita beans, but of course there is a big Pinto bean following in our state, so we grow both. We also do a 3 acre garden of all sorts of vegetables, which we sell in our store. We grow peppers, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, melons and berries, including a raspberry patch and a blackberry patch. We try to grow a wide variety, including non-GMO food-grade corn for milling into cornmeal. We also grow popcorn, as well as some hay for our animals and for sale.”
A small farm in Moriarty continues the tradition of family farming The plight of the family-run
farm has long been a concern across America. More and more, continuity from generation to generation seems to be a thing of the past. Hard work, difficult conditions, scarce financial options, as well as the allure of easier findings away from the farm have all contributed to the gradual demise of the family farm. Schwebach Farm, a local and celebrated family-run farm, is located in the Estancia Valley in Moriarty, New Mexico. The farm continues to buck this trend, currently championing its seventh generation as farmers and Locally sourced honey from Edgewood celebrating 45 years as a family Schwebach Farm Market working the fields in this locaCorridor staff photo by Debbie LaRouche tion.

B.J. Pheiffer, President and Founder of the Greenhouse Grocery Coop, announced this important milestone for the Coop and thanked David Salman, owner of the property, “for believing in the grocery’s vision as a possible future for this beautiful place, that he has nurtured for more than thirty years”. She went on to explain that “this familiar and beloved site is to be home to a new Siler District cooperative grocery, that supports economic resilience, food equity, safety and security, and community empowerment”.

do businesses that have stood the test of time and remained a viable offering in this community. One of the businesses that has maintained and still thrives is Las Chivas Coffee Roaster, who celebrated their 20th anniversary on August 30th in their new location (more on that later) in the La Tienda Shopping Center, which is located across the street from their original location. For twenty years now, Las Chivas Coffee Roaster has served up their unique combination of their specially roasted free-trade and organic coffees, delicious teas, fresh foods and sweets, in an atmosphere of community involvement and support. Speaking about the move to their new location, owner Lynn Pilgrim tells us “Our lease was up on May 30, 2015. We wanted some fresh air and decided to join kindred spirits at La Tienda. We found ourselves in a community of like-minded folks and we are very happy with the move.” Las Chivas has long supported local artists and artisans by displaying artists’ works in the coffee shop, holding poetry and book readings, as well as events such as a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony and English High Tea. Las Chivas put up their 105th art show on Saturday, August 29th (just in time for their 20th anniversary celebration).
Since their move to La Tienda Las Chivas has participated in many events sponsored by the Center. They have partnered with Oasis Café (also in La Tienda) to offer freshly made sandwiches to patrons in the Coffee House, as well as partnering with local bakers to provide gluten-free and hand-baked goods. New Mexico-made ice cream has also been added to the menu at Las Chivas. The staff of Las Chivas also regularly participate in the Eldorado Farmers’ Market, which is held at La Tienda each Friday from June to October from 4 pm to 7 pm. The new location of Las Chivas offers spacious indoor seating throughout the year, as well as outdoor seating (a good place to pick up The Corridor and read the paper while you enjoy some great coffee and fresh food). Of special note at Las Chivas is their continued support of local artisans, who provide hand-made articles for gifts throughout the year. Eldorado resident Isabel, who is close to reaching her own century mark, still sews recycled cloth shopping bags for sale at Las Chivas. Las Chivas is open: Mon-Fri: 7:00am - 5:00pm Sat: 7:00am - 5:00pm Sun: 7:00am - 1:00pm On Art Opening Sundays 7:00am - 3:00pm 505-466-1010 http://laschivascoffees.com

Local Fire Departments Seek New Volunters
We Want YOU ! Spotlight on volunteer opportunities with fire departments throughout the Corridor. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. Firefighting can
be very demanding, but it also has its rewards. It is because of this that counties and other fire districts across New Mexico continue to be able to rely on a small army of hard-working and dedicated volunteeers to keep our homes and businesses safe from fire, as well as the myriad of other first-responder services that fall to the hands of our local fire and rescue departments. In the middle of the Summer months, when the fire danger is at it’s peak, as well as throughout the year, volunteer fire departments continue to put out the call to invite volunteers to join their teams. We have assembled a list of volunteer fire organizations in our readership area and ways that you can become a volunteer or otherwise assist the efforts of the brave and capable men and women who provide their services to protect us from fire and come to our aid in time of need.

Santa Fe County Fire Districts
35 Camino Justicia, Santa Fe, NM 87508 505-992-3070 www.santafecountynm.gov/fire The Santa Fe County Fire Department is a combination fire department integrating paid staff and the service of dedicated volunteers. The Santa Fe County Fire Department is currently supported by more than 340 volunteer members whom are responsible for responding to fire, rescue and EMS emergencies twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days per year. Santa Fe County Fire Districts offer 2 methods of volunteering depending on your circumstances and area of residence. 1) District Volunteers: Generally reside or work within the boundaries of one of our 14 fire districts which allows them to respond from their residence or workplace to the fire station when an emergency call is received. There are no qualifications required to begin participating in this manner and training can be obtained via the Santa Fe County Fire Department Volunteer Academy, once you become a member. 2) Regional Volunteers: This program is for individuals who live outside the boundaries of our districts (within city limits or in another county). These volunteers must attend the Santa Fe County Fire Department Volunteer Fire Academy prior to working in the field as a volunteer. Once the academy is complete, they work 12 hour shifts (7:00am to 7:00pm whenever they wish) along side the paid staff.

Keith Henry, owner - Waterway of New Mexico - and testing equipment Corridor staff photos by Marc-Paul LaRouche and Debbie LaRouche
In order to comply with the codes and regulations of the National Fire Protection Association, each year all fire hoses and ground ladders in use by all fire districts of the Santa Fe County Fire Department are inspected and tested by a third-party company. On Friday, August 28 of this year The Corridor had the opportunity to film this activity at the Eldorado fire house and to speak with Keith Henry, who with his wife Amanda owns Waterway of New Mexico, a third-party company that provides fire hose, ground ladder and hydrant testing for fire departments across New Mexico. Keith is a career fireman with the Los Alamos County Fire Department and a volunteer firefighter for the Torrance County Fire Department. Waterway of New Mexico provides this service to all of the fire departments in Santa Fe County under a contract with the County, as well as many other fire districts throughout New Mexico.
Eldorado Self Storage Close-up of a fire hose that did not pass the test! This hose was removed from service immediately. Corridor staff photo by Marc-Paul LaRouche
As it happened that day, there was one hose that failed the test while we were filming. You can see the results on this page! Failed hoses are taken out of service immediately. The hoses that pass inspection and testing will be returned to the truck and the process is repeated for the next truck. According to Keith Henry, the average fire hose can cost the fire department between 250 Dollars and 900 Dollars, depending upon its length, diameter and construction.
Securely nestled in the heart of Eldorado, we have been providing friendly, personalized service for 27 years Call Russ or Amy McMillan for an appointment

Santa Fe Association of REALTORS® Hosts 2nd Annual Richard Jay Golf Tournament for ALS The Santa Fe Association of REALTORS® (SFAR) Community Services committee is hosting the 2nd Annual Richard Jay ALS Benefit event. The event is named in honor of Richard Jay, a local Realtor who suffered from ALS and passed away last year. The event will feature a golf tournament to be held at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe on September 25, 2015. All proceeds will go directly to the ALS Association to support research and assistance with palliative care. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS aka Lou Gehrig’s disease) is a degenerative disease of the nervous system. As the nerves deteriorate, victims of this incredibly cruel disease lose the ability to use their voluntary muscles eventually affecting their mobility, breathing and swallowing. With very few exceptions, ALS is a terminal diagnosis, taking most of its victims within 3-5 years. “This new event has created a wonderful way for Realtors, affiliate members and the public to support those who suffer from ALS as well as their care-givers,” said Deborah Bodelson, one of the organizers of the event. “Our Realtor family along with several generous community organizations are working together to make a powerful statement against this debilitating disease,” she added.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have recently made a stunning breakthrough in the search for a cure for ALS. They have discovered a malfunctioning protein in the neurons of ALS patients and believe that if they can find a way to get this protein back on track and functioning properly, it could lead to a cure! Funding for this research was provided, in large part, by last summer’s “Ice Bucket Challenge”.

“This is especially exciting for my family since, not only did I lose my husband to ALS, but our daughter is just starting her junior year at Johns Hopkins, where this discovery was made.” said Laura Lichtenstein, a local Realtor. Last year’s event was very well attended. Great fun was had by all and funds in excess of $54,000 were raised to benefit the New Mexico ALS Association. The Santa Fe Association of REALTORS® is hoping for an even better turnout this year. Raffle tickets are available. The golf tournament will feature a Hole-in-One contest, putting competition, 1st, 2nd & 3rd winning team prizes, Mulligans for purchase and other special prizes.

S u p e r m o o n Lunar Eclipse
September 27-28, 2015 START TIME 6:11 PM TOTAL ECLIPSE 8:47 PM END TIME 11:22 PM
tarting on the night of September 27th, a supermoon lunar eclipse will occur.
“What is a supermoon?
It’s a new or full moon closely coinciding with perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit. The name supermoon was coined by an astrologer, Richard Nolle, over 30 years ago. It was popularized and came to be an accepted term only in the past few years.” http://earthsky.org/space/ what-is-a-supermoon “[The lunar eclipse] will be visible from most of North America, South America, Europe, west Asia and parts of Africa ... In the Americas, the eclipse will begin on the evening of September 27, 2015. The eclipse will last for 3 hours and 20 minutes. The Moon will be totally eclipsed for about 1 hour and 12 minutes.” http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/ lunar/2015-september-28

Observing in Albuquerque
The moon may be easy to spot, but due to the light pollution in Albuquerque, the skies only show a few stars without heading up to the Sandias. Luckily, resources like The Albuquerque Astronomy Society and the UNM Campus Observatory make it easier to stargaze in the city. Since 1959, The Albuquerque AstronomiBuilding (ROOst), which is a combination cal Society (TAAS) has been viewing New classroom, bunkhouse, and warm-up area, Mexico’s night skies and sharing its features allowing for year-round observing comfort.” through public education. Need a telescope? Try the TAAS Telescope Loan Program! The Telescope Loan Program provides telescopes and other observing equipment to TAAS members free of charge. The program maintains a number of telescopes ranging from 3-inch portable scopes perfect for observing the Moon and planets to 13-inch “light buckets” for serious deep sky use. The loan period is one month and any TAAS Exterior of the GNTO, or member is eligible to borrow any scope. General Nathan Twining Observatory “The GNTO is our TAAS owned and operated

Along the Salt Missions Scenic Byway
In 1995, the Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway was established and forms a loop connecting Tijeras, Manzano Mountains State Park, Quarai, Mountainair, Gran Quivira, Willard, Estancia, and Moriarty. The Salt Missions Scenic Byway is named after the ancient saline lakes to the east of the byway, which date back to the Pleistocene era. Natives mined and traded the salt that resulted from the dried-up lakebeds. Traces of this salt have been found as far south as Mexico. The lake bed dirt has been found to be an excellent growing medium for pinto beans. www.newmexico.org/ salt-missions-trail/

Bella Notte, also in Estancia, features Italian cuisine, including traditional entrees and gourmet pizza. This is a unique eatery as it is a non-profit and offers culinary training for the owner’s Liberty Ranch Christian School. www.eastmountaindirectory.com/articles/87-Bella-Notte-Prepares-Authentic-Italian-in-the-Heart-of-Estancia.html
Fall Colors - 4th of July Canyon - Cibola National Forest - takemytrip.com photo
The Schwebach Farm Market in Moriarty, NM Corridor photos by Debbie LaRouche
Our trip starts in Moriarty, NM. From Route 66, take NM 41 south about 1 mile to Martinez Road, then right to Schwebach Farm Market (if you are visiting between August and end of October). The Market features non-GMO white sweet corn and other vegetables and berries, all grown at the farm. They are a small, family owned farm. This property has been farmed by 6 generations of the Schwebach family for over 45 years. See our story on page 3 to find out more.
From Estancia, drive west on NM 55 (this is where the Salt Mission Trail meets up with the road from Tijeras) Continue on NM 55 as it heads south through a few old Spanish villages, including Tajique and Torreon. The 4th of July Canyon in the Manzano Mountains contains some of the largest stands of Rocky Mountain and Big-toothed maple trees in the Southwest. The spectacular fall colors attract visitors from throughout the area.

Arthur Park - Estancia, NM Corridor photos by Debbie LaRouche
Next continue south toward McIntosh and Estancia. Along this highway you will be paralleling the New Mexico Central Railway route. In Estancia stop for a visit to Arthur Park, a natural spring fed pond. A short detour down Highland Avenue, four blocks west of the main thoroughfare. Tall shade trees create an oasis in the high desert. The pond is stocked with fish for kids and seniors, with playgrounds and picnic areas. Dining in Estancia includes The Old Mill Restaurant and Bella Notte Italian Restaurant.
Heading south on NM 55/337 winds through the scenic piñon-juniper hills and canyons of the Manzano Mountains. Tiny farming villages along the way date back 300 years to Spanish Land Grants. At the T-intersection of NM 55, turn right (west) to Tajique. Just through town, turn right on the dirt FS 55. RVs and cars should have no problem. The 4th of July campground (24 sites, with no water or hook-ups) and trailhead are about 7.5 miles. Take the short drive to 4th of July Canyon. Densely wooded with bigtooth maples, 4th of July Canyon is glorious any time of the year, but in early October the forest blazes with hues of burgundy, reds and oranges. A one-mile, moderately-easy trail leads through the most spectacular portion of the canyon. At the head of the canyon, return or continue on the 6.5-mile loop. A spur leads to the ridgetop for tremendous views of the Rio Grande and Estancia valleys. (505) 346-3900 map: www.fs.fed.us/r3/cibola/maps/mtnair_quickref_map.pdf)

To visit Manzano Mountain Retreat, about 2 miles south of Torreon, turn west onto County Road A003 “Ten Pines Road”. About 7 miles to the Retreat, where some of the oldest apple orchards in the US are still growing. These have been dated to the 1800’s, but historical records indicate there were apples here in the 1600’s when the Franciscans came to the area from Spain. http://manzanoretreat.com/ http:// manzanoretreat.com/apples/ http://manzanoretreat.com/our-sto-

Further south on NM 55 is the town of Manzano, with a turnoff to NM 131 to Manzano Mountains State Park. Manzano Mountains State Park is an excellent destination for hiking and camping. Nestled in the wooded foothills of the Manzanos, this park provides a quiet retreat and is a nice family get-away. Wildlife viewing, birding and photography are great activities at this park. www.emnrd.state.nm.us/SPD/ manzanomountainsstatepark.html
TRIPS The Shaffer Hotel and hand-built fencing by Clem “Pop” Schaffer - Mountainair, NM Corridor Staff photos by Debbie LaRouche
After your visit to the Abo unit of the National Monument, return to Mountainair. Before you embark on a visit to the final unit of the National Monument, we suggest that you take a quick look at a couple of curious local landmarks. The first is the historic Shaffer Hotel, one block off of US 60. The website for this hotel has a wealth of information about the hotel, its creator, and the world that surrounded Clem “Pop” Shaffer beginning with his arrival in Mountainair in the early 1920s. www.shafferhotel.com/
Quarai Ruins - Salinas Pueblo Missions NM - Corridor staff photo
Our next stop is the Quarai unit of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Return back to Manzano, NM, then head south about 5 miles on NM 55, turn west on County 8076 (Quarai sign). Salinas Pueblo Missions is a curious park in that it is a collection of three discontinuous units, each with distinct Spanish Missions, Native American Pueblos, and a variety of other historic buildings and ruins. The monument is free! Here within easy walking distance you can see the mission church and the pueblo ruins. This was a large pueblo and traded salt from the nearby salt lakes with the Rio Grande Pueblo peoples and the Apaches.
Whimsical cabin and art on“Pop” Shaffer’s Rancho Bonita - Mountair, NM Corridor Staff photos by Debbie LaRouche
For a quick visit to “Pop” Schaffer’s celebrated ranchito, drive south from the Shaffer Hotel about 1 mile. Stay on the dirt road. You will see a gate at the entrance. This is private property but you can view the buildings (such as the cabin shown above) from the gate at the entrance.
The Bakery (left) and Jerry’s Ancient Cities Cafe (right) in Mountainair Corridor staff photos
After a visit to Quarai, head to Mountainair for lunch. Try Jerry’s Ancient Cities Café, The Bakery or Alpine Alley Coffee Shop. Each of these dining options have varying hours and days. We had a quick bite to eat from The Bakery, their Lunch Box Special of a Beef Brisket sandwich, which came with a side of tomato and onion salad, an apple slice and a sweet pecan snack. Bread is made on the premises and was excellent. Nice, shaded areas to sit as well.
The kivas at Gran Quivira- National Park Service photo
To visit the final unit of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, travel 25 miles south on NM 55 to Gran Quivira. Gran Quivira is one of the oldest monuments in the National Park Service system, originally established in November 1909. The Gran Quivira unit of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is the biggest of the three units at 611 acres. Prior to Spanish contact, Gran Quivira was a vast city with multiple pueblos, and kivas.
Visitor and HQ - Salinas Pueblo Missions NM - Corridor staff photos
After lunch visit some of the art galleries in town. There is also a small grocery store in town, B Street Market. Stop in at the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Visitor Center to learn about the other units of the Nation Monument. To visit the Abo unit of the monument drive west of Mountainair about 9 miles east US60. The Abo Unit of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument sits west of the town of Mountainair, New Mexico, and contains approximately 370 acres. The number and size of unexcavated pueblo mounds suggest that when the Spanish arrived in 1581 they would have found a thriving community.

Ancient saline lakes locatd 4 miles west of Willard ,NM on US 60 Corridor staff photo by Debbie LaRouche
After your visit to Gran Quivira, head back to Moriarty via NM 55 back to Mountainair, then east on US60. If you would like to see the saline lakes the trail is named after, drive about 4 miles east of the small town of Willard on US60. Double back on US 60 to NM 41, then north to Estancia and Moriarty.

Hours and days open vary, see website for more info. After a drive along the Salt Missions Trail, we stopped for a small bite to eat at The Bakery, where they freshly make their own baked goods and pastries. The lunch special was a barbecue brisket sandwich with a slice of apple, a tasty tomato salad and a sweet pecan dessert. There are nice, covered dining areas and great table service. We got food to go and everything was very good.
3777 Cerrillos Rd. Santa Fe, NM 87507 (505) 438-3388 www.firehousesubs.com
Open Mon - Sun 10:30am - 9:00pm
If you haven’t tried Firehouse Subs, you need to be prepared for this sandwich experience to rock your world.
Now with a new location in Santa Fe (they already have 3 locations in Albuquerque), this franchise was founded in 1994 by former firefighter brothers Robin and Chris Sorensen in Jacksonville Florida, Firehouse Subs serves sandwiches with meats and cheeses steamed together, then placed on a toasted sub roll. Today, according to their website www. firehousesubs.com/, there are more than 850 Firehouse Subs restaurants. Firehouse Subs opened their newest location in Santa Fe this summer, located on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe. On our regular route delivering The Corridor July issue, my wife Debbie and I, realizing we were famished (delivering papers is hard work, you know), we made our way across Cerrillos to the newest food venue in town, Firehouse Subs. We arrived on Thursday, July 30th right about noon. This location had just opened that Monday, and the place was packed! My first impression was the long lines of anxious and hungry customers wrapped around the counter. I quickly noticed the line behind the counter - there must have been 12 to 15 staffers (including some managemant staff) working happily and in sync as they managed the barrage of orders coming in, not to mention a small army of servers attending to the overflowing tables of customers eagerly devowering their lunches.
Charlie’s Spic & Span 713 Douglas Ave Las Vegas, NM 87701 (505) 426-1921 Open Mon-Sat 6:30 am - 6:00 pm Sun 7:00 am - 3:00 pm
We stopped by for a late lunch during the week. The restaurant still had a small crowd, but plenty of seats were available. I ordered Chicken Enchiladas with red and green chile, posole and beans. The enchiladas came with fresh tortillas and lots of chicken and spice, smothered with chile sauces, with cheese and lettuce on top. The chile sauces were spicy and very good. The posole was flavorful, especially covered with the wonderful chile sauces! Marc ordered a Green Chile Cheeseburger with onion rings – a huge half-pound burger with tasty green chile. The burger was cooked medium rare, as ordered, and covered with lots of green chile. The onion rings were house-made with real slices of onions. Service was excellent, fast and efficient. We always buy fresh tortillas when we visit; they make them right there in the restaurant!
14 | The Corridor - September 2015
Making our choices, Debbie went for the Under 500 Turkey Salsa Verde Sandwich, which included hot smoked turkey breast, Monterey Jack cheese, salsa verde sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, light mayo, and light wheat roll. This nice and spicy sandwich was just enough for her for a quick, light lunch. I had to have the New York Steamer Specialty Sandwich, stacked high with Corned beef brisket, pastrami, melted provolone, deli mustard, mayo, and Italian dressing. Closest thing to a New York deli sandwich this side of, well, New York. What makes these sandwiches outstanding in a crowd of sub shops is the simple application of steam to heat the meats and cheeses. This is not a new revelation in foodservice, but it is most welcome and delicious. Firehouse Subs sponsors the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is dedicated to improving the life-saving capabilities and the lives of local heroes and their communities. Firehouse Subs makes it easy to participate in this cause - you can donate at the counter! This month we feature volunteer fire departments and their ongoing need to enlist volunteers willing to put in the time and effort required of them in performing their important jobs of response and protection.

Facts About Bees:
Bees have 5 eyes, 3 simple eyes on top of its head, and 2 compound eyes. There are about 25,000 known species of bees in the world. A healthy honey bee colony can have 50,000 to 60,000 bees. A honey bee colony is made up of one queen. A queen is in charge of laying eggs. The rest of the bees are either workers or drones. Drones help the queen create more bees. Workers collect pollen and nectar to bring back to the hive. In its lifetime, a worker bee makes only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey. Bees are very important to us because they pollinate plants we use for food. Without bees, most fruits and vegetables we eat could not exist.
