Overview
The overarching goal of this project is to address food deserts in New Mexico tribal communities. A food desert refers to areas where there is limited access to affordable, fresh produce and other nutritious foods. This toolkit aims to reduce food deserts by providing resources to support the business success of Native American farmers and ranchers. It may also be helpful for those considering careers as farmers or ranchers. In this toolkit, you will find multiple areas to help turn farming and ranching into a successful business, or establish yourself as an entrepreneur. These subject areas include Business Start-Up Resources, Money Management and Business Funding, and Selling. This toolkit was made possible by funds from The Aspen Institute, and compiled by Keres Consulting, Inc. with guidance from the New Mexico Department of Health.
BACKGROUND
The New Mexico Tribal Farming Toolkit provides practical, straightforward resources to New Mexico’s 23 tribes, nations, and pueblos with information on how to successfully navigate the farming business industry in New Mexico. The resources provided assist New Mexico’s tribal farmers and ranchers with the necessary tools to overcome the barriers to growing and selling their products. These resources equip users with the essential knowledge to improve their ability to become successful businessmen and women.
BUSINESS START-UP RESOURCES
Tribal businesses are unique in that they may interact with tribal, state, and federal stakeholders in order to be successful in their efforts. These additional challenges can often become barriers for tribal farmers, which leads to frustration and lack of success. There are numerous business resources and organizations available for those wishing to start their own business or for gaining insight to accomplished businesses. It can be helpful to learn from noteworthy businesses and take advantage of the knowledge gained from these entities.

➢ Business Plan Assistance
A Business Plan is the heart of a successful business. Knowing what to include and the numerous details involved is important to getting your business on the correct path to success. Items to incorporate in your business plan include the following:
▪ Executive Summary (This tells whomever is reading your plan what it is you want to
achieve)
▪ Business Description (This section describes the industry you operate in from current
trends to future opportunities)
▪ Market Strategies (This section should include a market analysis to allow you to
effectively target the market you want to operate in)
▪ Competitive Analysis (This analysis will allow you to determine the strengths and
weaknesses of industry competitors)
▪ Operations Plan (This section allows for a full description of how the business will
function)
The items listed above represent a basic overview of what might be included in a business plan. You can also visit the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center for resources on business development, starting a business, creating business plans, and more. You can view their business development page here: http://www.agmrc.org/business-development/

View their producer resources here: http://www.nativefoodsystems.org/producers
➢ Licensing
Business licensing is fundamental to starting a business. This is especially true in farming where food products often require specific standards to be sold to vendors. Business licensing varies according to the county, city or town in which you are operating your business. Additional factors to consider are if you are operating on Tribal Trust Land if the Tribal Entity (Tribe, Nation, or Pueblo) requires additional business licensure beyond what is required of the county in which the business is operating.
The State of New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department offers the appropriate information for licensing within the State of New Mexico. Please visit the Department’s website: http://www.rld.state.nm.us/Apply_for_a_License_or_Permit.aspx

MONEY MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS FUNDING
The means to start your business and money management are key components to supporting your young business.

Information on the various types of alternative forms of payment, as well as information on funding opportunities can be found below.
➢ Payment Information
Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) and The SupplementalNutrition Assistance Program (SNAP):State and local social service agencies provide benefits to low-income community members whoqualify in the form of the WIC, EBT, and SNAP Programs.

Farm Loans The Farm Service Agency (FSA) makes direct and guaranteed farm ownership and operating loans to family-size farmers and ranchers who cannot obtain commercial credit from a bank, Farm Credit System institution, or other lender. FSA loans can be used to purchase land, livestock, equipment, feed, seed, and supplies. Loans can also be used to construct buildings or make farm improvements. Website: https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/farm-loan-programs/index Beginning Farmers and Ranchers USDA, through the Farm Service Agency, provides direct and guaranteed loans to beginning farmers and ranchers who are unable to obtain financing from commercial credit sources. Each fiscal year, the Agency targets a portion of its direct and guaranteed farm ownership (FO) and operating loan (OL) funds to beginning farmers and ranchers. Website: https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/farm-loan-programs/beginning-farmers-and-ranchers-loans/index Native American Tribal Loans USDA, through the Farm Service Agency, provides multiple types of loans to help Tribes: FSA's Indian Tribal Land Acquisition Loan Program is a valuable resource to help Tribes become owners of additional property within the reservation to advance and increase current operations, provide financial prospects for Native American Communities, increase agricultural productivity, and save farmland for future generations. Through FSA’s innovative programming, American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments have the ability to create sustainable and community-driven solutions to rural community challenges. This loan program is financed and serviced by the Farm Service Agency. Funding comes from Congressional appropriations as part of the USDA budget. The Highly Fractionated Indian Land Loan Program helps Tribes, Tribal entities, and Tribal members alleviate the problems caused by fractionated interests on tribal lands. Through land consolidation, current and new agricultural operations can improve and expand access to USDA programs, increase agricultural productivity, and save Tribal farmland for future generations. This loan program is financed through revolving loan funds from the Agency and serviced through the approved intermediary lender, Native American Community Development Corporation Financial Services, Inc.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
In addition to the resources provided in this toolkit, there are many other sources of other informative resources available. Please feel free to explore this information below and in the following table.
➢ First Nations Development Institute
First Nations Development Institute (FNDI) improves economic conditions for Native Americans through technical assistance & training, advocacy & policy, and direct financial grants in five key areas:
▪ Achieving Native Financial Empowerment ▪ Investing in Native Youth ▪ Strengthening Tribal & Community Institutions ▪ Advancing Household & Community Asset-Building Strategies ▪ Nourishing Native Foods & Health
First Nations Development Institute recognizes that accessing healthy food is a challenge for many Native American children and families. Without access to healthy food, a nutritious diet and good health are out of reach. To increase access to healthy food, First Nations support tribes and Native communities as they build sustainable food systems that improve health, strengthen food security and increase the control over Native agriculture and food systems. First Nations provides this assistance in the form of financial and technical support, including training materials, to projects that address agriculture and food sectors in Native communities. First Nations also undertakes research projects that build the knowledge and understanding of Native agriculture and food systems issues. They also inform Native communities about innovative ideas and best practices. First Nations also participates in policy forums that help develop legislative and regulatory initiatives within this sector. First Nations supports a regional and national network of Native food sector and related organizations. Website: http://firstnations.org/
➢ Native Food Systems Resource Center
The Native Food Systems Resource Center (NAFSI) is an initiative of First Nations Development Institute. An extension of First Nation’s Native Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative, the Native Food Systems Resource Center offers resources for communities, producers, and consumers in regards to food sovereignty. Some of the resources NAFSI has to offer include:
▪ Engaging your community ▪ Farm to school ▪ Collaboration with federal government ▪ Food handling/safety ▪ Seed saving ▪ Marketing and financial guidance
33
Website: http://www.nativefoodsystems.org/
➢ Farm to Table New Mexico
Farm to Table enhances marketing opportunities for farmers, encourages family farming, farmers’ markets and the preservation of agricultural traditions, informs public policy, and furthers understanding of the links between farming, food, health and local economies. Some of the resources NAFSI has to offer include:
▪ Engaging your community ▪ Farm to school ▪ Collaboration with federal government ▪ Food handling/safety ▪ Seed saving ▪ Marketing and financial guidance
Farm to Table offers various programs to get your produce from the field to the consumer including farm to school, farm to cafeteria, farm to restaurant, etc. Visit Farm to Table’s Programs tab on the website for additional New Mexico resources for farmers and ranchers. Website: http://www.farmtotablenm.org/
➢ NMSU Cooperative Extension Service
NMSU Cooperative Extension Service provides “expert answers for everyday questions” in areas including: economic development; energy and water; farm and ranch; health and family wellbeing, yard and garden; natural resources; 4-H youth development and multimedia video and apps. Click here to locate your county extension office. Website: http://extension.nmsu.edu/ Indian Livestock Days Indian Livestock Days began in the 1970's and was initially called All Indian Livestock School. It was discontinued in 1978 and reestablished in 1985, at the request of tribal livestock producers. Originally the event was held in April and hosted on the main NMSU campus in Las Cruces. In 1996, the location was moved around the four-corners area to make it easier for clientele to attend the event. This event has grown from approximately 65 attendees in 1996, to 245 attendees in 2015. New Mexico Indian Livestock Days is now an annual event held in May, conducted by NMSU Cooperative Extension Service. Website: http://indianlivestock.nmsu.edu/index.html
➢ Intertribal Technical Assistance Centers through the Intertribal Agriculture Council
USDA deployed the Intertribal Technical Assistance Network (Network) to ensure Tribal governments, communities, and individuals receive technical assistance to improve their access to USDA programs and services. The Network helps USDA deliver its programs and services to farmers and ranchers who are focusing on providing local and traditional food to tribal members and improving the market access for tribally-produced foods. The Network supports members of tribes
34
across the United States, potentially benefitting 55 million acres of reservation lands and the communities located on those lands. Website: http://www.indianaglink.com/our-programs/technical-assistance-program/
➢ Johns Hopkins Feast for the Future
The Feast for the Future Program is an innovative and holistic model program that ensures American Indian children and communities have access to healthy and nutritious foods. Feast for the Future promotes Native communities’ capacity to reintroduce healthy indigenous foods and agriculture. The program was developed and launched in 2010 in partnership with three Native communities located in the southwestern United States. The development, implementation and evaluation of Feast for the Future was guided by a Community Advisory Board in each participating community. A rigorous evaluation was conducted to assess the program impact and refine all program materials. The Feast for the Future Program components are now packaged and available to interested tribal communities across the nation through the replication toolkit on the Johns Hopkins website. Website: http://caih.jhu.edu/programs/feast-for-the-future/
➢ Natural Resources Conservation Service
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a program within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). NRCS provides America’s farmers and ranchers with financial and technical assistance to voluntarily put conservation on the ground, not only helping the environment but agricultural operations too. NRCS operates at a national level, but has local service centers to better serve NM farmers and ranchers. Offered programs include farm bill, financial assistance, easements, landscape initiatives, and landscape planning. The following resource is a New Mexico-specific grazing brochure to equip NM ranchers with grazing tips and techniques. By reviewing the brochure on a small acerage grazing, the owner can properly care for his or her animal(s) by understanding feed requirements, conserving soil, protecting plant condition and ecological diversity, maintaining or improving wildlife habitat, and increasing property values. View the grazing document here: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/nrcs144p2_068186.pdf National Website: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/national/home/ New Mexico Website: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/site/nm/home/
