Henry Rael

Henry Rael’s community organization was selected by the USDA in 2009 ago to create new farms in Albuquerque’s South Valley. He started with a single backyard farm, which has — since — grown to multiple sites. There are more than two acres under cultivation this year. Henry, whose background is in software development, is working to build a software platform to better connect growers and consumers; providing growers with a steady, reasonable market while delivering a safer, healthier, and more humane diet for New Mexico families.
