Happy New Year!
2010 promises to be an exciting year at Wagner Farms. We will continue to provide the best tasting red and green chile in New Mexico and a wide selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Our doors may be closed for the winter but we're busy getting ready for year ahead. Best wishes to all for a happy and propserous new year.
Welcome to Wagner Farms in the beautiful Village of Corrales, New Mexico. We are located in the middle Rio Grande Valley, situated between our state capital of Santa Fe and Albuquerque, NM, the largest city in the state. The Corrales Farm is 125 acres that grows sweet corn, pumpkins and orchard fruits. The second farm, located in Socorro, NM specializes in green chile and a seasonal variety of produce.

The Wagner family has been farming in New Mexico for 99 years and will be celebrating their centennial next October. The family farms are owned by Gus and Arlene Wagner and operated by sons Jimmy and Bobby Wagner in Corrales and Socorro, New Mexico. The family also owns and operates a country market which has recently undergone a "facelift" in preparation for the centennial celebration next year. The market sells fresh-picked produce, New Mexican specialty products, Gifts Of Harvest and homemade local favorites in the Apple Tree Cafe.
Son Jimmy Wagner and wife Roxanne also own The Wagners Farmland Experience, a seasonal venue that was created to entertain and educate kids young and old about farming. Their slogan is "Exprience Farming: It's Down To Earth Fun!" The experience includes a 13 acre corn maze, hayrides, orchard tours, a petting zoo and educational seminars that teach children about farming and where their food comes from. The "Experience" operates from mid September through the last week of October. Visit www.wagnersfarmlandexperience.com for more information.
