The Mark Garcia Farms, organization is a sixth generation family farm, raising livestock, Alfalfa, Oat and Sudex Hay on seven separate properties. The organization was in existance before New Mexico became an organized territory in 1850 and still holds livestock brand's that were registered prior to 1896. We can generally count on 4 cuttings per year and sometimes five, if weather permits. You may pre-order 1500 pound bails or the smaller 70 pound bail. We also have specialty mixes for horses.
