In yet another number one ranking for the city of Las Cruces our fair city has been recognized as New Mexico's top pick in Americas Farmers Market Contest. In an online poll by American Farmland Trust, Las Cruces Farmers Market and Craft Fair is number one in the State beating Santa Fe's Farmers Market with 6 times as many votes according to the web site www.farmland.org. "The market is one of the main reasons we're moving here to Las Cruces," said Judith Yorkey of Houston Texas. "It's well deserved," said Jim and Charlie Enos who run Jim's Slabs & Cabs, purveyors of rocks and mineral specimens. It's a great place to get Chile peppers, Ristras and a wide variety other fresh produce. Dona Ana County is now home to three of the five top Farmers Markets in the State. Story reference by S.
