The Farmers Market in Albuquerque was preparing to close for good, due to the loss of its main supply sources in drought-stricken California and buying power pressure from large supermarkets. After California growers trimmed their acreage by half following the state’s historic drought, it became impossible to compete with pricing at nearby supermarket chains.
