The Hubbell House Alliance is featuring a Lecture Series focused on agricultural issues in New Mexico to compliment the volunteer day every third Saturday of the month. Learn about issues such as agricultural policy, backyard compositing, Farm to School movement, and Revolution on the Range.

 

The Gutierrez-Hubbell House has been called the “South Valley’s Tremendous Treasure”.  A Bernalillo County Open Space, this historical house and its surroundings were once a famous trading post, sheep ranch headquarters, post office, and home along the Camino Real. 

 

The Hubbell House Alliance invites the public to volunteer on the 10 acre site to work on a nature trail, heritage orchard, bird refuge, vineyard, and open space for wildlife. Volunteers will get practical hands-on experience with organic and traditional farming/gardening practices. The Hands-on Day is held before the Lecture Series starting at 9:00am to 12:30pm at the Hubbell house.
