Logo Program
Strong traditions connecting New Mexico
Through our marketing efforts at the New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA), we have found that strong traditions form a common thread across all New Mexico agricultural products. Whether it’s salsa, sopapilla mix, wine, green chile beef jerky, cheese, a blanket woven with New Mexico-grown wool, plant stock grown in a local nursery, or seed stock from one of our many cattle ranches, all New Mexico agricultural products have a history steeped in family traditions worth emphasizing and celebrating!
This is why NMDA created the NEW MEXICO—Taste the Tradition® and —Grown with Tradition® Logo Program in 2000. While the main intent of using these logos is to promote New Mexico products and identify them as grown or made in the state, NMDA is dedicated to making the Logo Program a brand that works for you.
