TREND Albuquerque

Santa Fe and Albuquerque must listen to the architects that know best that care about our children's children's future when planning zoning future city care from people who are community leaders that do not sell out our future for profit!

Robert Redford talks about the Beauty and importance of Preserving this Natural Gift to us, in the 2007 documentary “The Unforeseen” He learned how to swim at 5 in Barton Springs pool, and was a lifeguard there in Austin, Texas, working there for two summers during his high school. He was involved in supporting the Save Our Springs (SOS) program in Austin, Texas. He has been a prominent environmentalist since the 1970s and used his public profile to aid the local grassroots effort to protect BartonSprings. #bartonsprings #SOS #SaveOurSprings #austintx #austin #austinrealestate #unforseen

A great loss for the woman's team of great character and grace on earth! I'll miss you Florence!

Florence Jaramillo, “Mrs. J”, beloved owner of Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante, passed away on the morning of September 22, 2025 at her home in Chimayó, New Mexico. She was 94.

Florence Jaramillo was a mother, grandmother, friend, visionary, businesswomen, author, philanthropist, and community leader. She leaves a legacy of generosity and a passion for life.
She changed the way we gather to share and celebrate through a love of food, culture, and tradition. Among her numerous achievements, she was named a New Mexico Culinary
Treasure in 2014, and was awarded the 2016 James Beard Foundation America's Classics Award. The James Beard Awards recognizes culinary professionals for excellence and
achievement in their fields and further the Foundation’s mission to celebrate, nurture, and honor America’s diverse culinary heritage through programs that educate and inspire.

She worked tirelessly to preserve the traditions and culture of her family and community. Her impact on the world will be felt for generations to come. She always said “God blessed me with one child, but gave me thousands of children to raise.”

She leaves behind her treasured Rancho de Chimayó Restaurante, which is about to celebrate its 60th Birthday Anniversary in October. She opened the restaurant in 1965, along with her former husband, Arturo Jaramillo, and daughter, Laura, in the restored home of Arturo’s grandparents, Hermenegildo and Trinidad Jaramillo.

Even as a nonagenarian, and up until about a month ago, “Mrs. J.”, as she was fondly known by her customers and staff, was still at the restaurant daily greeting her long-time customers,
meeting new ones, and ensuring that the restaurant ran according to her standards all with a radiant smile.

Funeral arrangements and a celebration of Mrs. J’s life are pending, and will be announced soon.

There was a lot of love in this Modern Love menu at Farm & Table. ❤️

My quest to get insight regarding Albuquerque’s cultural evolution from local experts took me to Sanitary Tortilla Factory, where I spent a delightful morning with founder, Sheri Crider. Her story is as fascinating and inspiring as is this community art space and exhibition gallery in what was formerly a Mexican cafe and tortilla factory.

Meet the Vashers. This artistic power couple graced the pages of our Trend art design culture magazine 2018 issue, and we can’t help but reminisce about their ultimate labor of love, a stunningly modern live/work space in Placitas, with roots in the region’s counterculture past.

Jennifer Vasher turns everyday objects into works of conceptual art that comment on the hypocrisies and dichotomies laced throughout our sociopolitical landscape. By contrast, the work of her husband, architect Max Vasher, is the conceptual made tangible in spaces where his clients can live in harmony with each other and with the surrounding natural environment.
