THANK YOU, ANDREW!

​Abiquiu Farmers Market’s season ended the last Tuesday of October, and with it, comes the retirement of our market’s founder and co-manager, Andrew Furse.  

Eight years ago, Andrew started the market on “a wing and a prayer,” and, in the years since, it has become a beloved community institution. Lupita Salazar will remain as manager with new co-manager Laurie Magoon and the continued sponsorship of Luciente, Inc.

Luciente thanks all our wonderful vendors and volunteers.  But a special huge thanks to Andrew, and best wishes to him in his new position as instructor at Northern NM College, where his print-making classes are receiving rave reviews.
