About Del Cielo Farm
7202 Isleta Blvd, Albuquerque, NM 87105
Del Cielo is on its way to becoming a vibrant, community-focused farm hub in the South Valley. In partnership with the Picaflor Collective, their primary focus is cultivating and strengthening community agency and food sovereignty within their South Valley community.
The crew at Del Cielo Farm strives to be intentional and reciprocal regarding the natural, cultural, and spiritual impacts of their work with their community and the land – looking generations into the future. Through this they hope to breathe increased energy and momentum into cultivating a sustainable, community-run food system and they seek not only to be a refuge for those who have been systematically disenfranchised, but also strive to be a haven for insects, birds, and other wildlife that have been affected by destructive agricultural systems.

Jozua Lambrecht is from South Africa and divides his time between their home in Somerset West and their family farm in Sutherland, one of the coldest places in South Africa, where they farm with sheep. He is married to his wife Therese and they have two daughters.
Alejandro Carrillo is a fourth-generation rancher, and he is quite familiar with the challenges of running a profitable cattle ranch in the Chihuahuan desert. Because annual precipitation seldom exceeds nine inches, every drop counts when it comes to growing more grasses. Grazing year-round with only sea salt as an input, he is not willing to waste any water in such a brittle environment.
Jared L Talley was born and raised in Southwestern Idaho and now seeks to help rural communities adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. He is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public Service at Boise State University, earning his PhD in Philosophy from Michigan State University and his MPA in Environmental Policy and Natural Resource Management from Boise State University. An environmental philosopher by training and an interdisciplinary scholar in practice, he seeks to better understand how communities relate to the land and how this relationship poses obstacles and opportunities for collaboration and governance. In doing so, he studies the role of science in collaborative policy, the role of place in environmental identity, and the role of the imagination in mediating both. Specifically, he studies grazing management and public land permitting, community-led conservation programs, rural education and entrepreneurship, place-based environmental governance, and the imaginative experience of our natural and built environments — all in the contexts of the intermountain American West.
