The area known as Los Luceros was farmed by Spanish settlers as early as 1710, and by Pueblo people for centuries before that.
Ice's Organic Farm, owned and worked by Ron and Gayle Ice, lies in the Espanola Valley of the Rio Grande in the shadow of Black Mesa, west of the Taos highway and eight miles north of Espanola, NM.
Gayle makes the jams and jellies in a commercial kitchen located on the farm. All the fruit used in the jellies and jams is raised on the farm or in the local area. No sprays or insecticides are used on the fruit. We sell the products at the farm, and at the Santa Fe and Los Alamos farmers’ markets.
The greenhouse is located next to the house. When you take a tour of the farm you will also see the greenhouse and all the plants there. We raise most of the starter plants which are then transplanted to the field. We also sell bedding plants at the farm, and the farmers markets in Santa Fe and Los Alamos
From Espanola go north on State
Road 68 toward Taos. About 8 miles
north on the east side is the Onate Center (a pink building).
Get in the left lane, and
look for a sign for County Road 48 and an
historic marker sign for Los Luceros.
Turn left (west) and go to
the end of the road to a stop sign. Slightly
to the
right is a dirt road.
Cross the road, driving
slightly to the right onto the dirt road, Rd.
1097.
Follow the dirt road across
the irrigation ditch past an electric gate
and turn right.
Shortly you will see a sign
for Ice’s Organic Farm. You are
here!
