Mark Garcia Farms
Agricultural Products Since 1895
Alfalfa
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 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 one ton bails or the smaller 70 pound bail which ever
you prefer to handle.
