#earthdayjourney
Santa Fe welcomed us with its rich culture, stunning landscapes, and deep commitment to sustainability. As we explored, we found incredible places that honor the Earth, making them perfect stops for an eco-friendly journey.
🌿 Santa Fe Farmers’ Market – Supporting Local & Sustainable Agriculture
We explored the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market, one of the most vibrant and eco-conscious markets in the country. Farmers here follow organic and sustainable practices, ensuring the land stays healthy for future generations. Walking through, we saw colorful local produce, handmade goods, and passionate vendors committed to ethical farming. We even tasted fresh green chile, a New Mexico staple! Shopping here supports local agriculture while reducing the carbon footprint of imported goods.

🌞 Santa Fe Community Solar Garden – Clean Energy for the Future
We visited the Santa Fe Community Solar Garden, a groundbreaking project that allows residents and businesses to use solar energy without installing panels on their property. This initiative makes renewable energy accessible to more people while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Walking through the solar garden, we learned how the city is leading the way in sustainability by harnessing its 300+ days of sunshine a year. It’s a must-see for anyone passionate about clean energy!

🍽️ Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen – Ethical & Earth-Friendly Dining
We indulged in a meal at Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen, a restaurant that prioritizes organic, local, and ethically sourced ingredients. Their zero-waste philosophy means they compost food scraps and minimize single-use plastics. Every bite—from their blue corn pancakes to their nourishing grain bowls—was a reminder of how delicious sustainability can be. Eating here felt like a small yet powerful way to support the planet. Highly recommend!
