House Memorial 21, introduced by Representatives Joanne J. Ferrary, Joseph Franklin Hernandez, Tara L. Lujan, and Rebecca Dow, declares January 30, 2026, as "New Mexico Food and Farms Day." This memorial aims to celebrate the contributions of individuals, communities, organizations, and agencies in fostering a robust local food, farming, and ranching economy, while also emphasizing the importance of access to fresh, local, healthy, and nutritious food for all New Mexicans.

The memorial recognizes several award recipients for their outstanding efforts in various categories, including the Good Food for New Mexico Award for Las Cruces farmers' markets, the Sowing Change Award for La Semilla Food Center and New Mexico Agrarian Commons, and the Heart of the Land Award for Selece and Jeremy Gathings of Gathings Gardens LLC, among others. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy of the memorial be sent to the policy director of Farm to Table New Mexico, reinforcing the commitment to community food initiatives and the enhancement of the statewide food system.
