Tucked away several miles outside of Quemado, New Mexico, her small adobe home offers an idyllic retreat from the hustle of modern life. In this serene setting, Maria thrives by embracing the simple pleasures of self-sufficiency. She grows most of her own vegetables and fruits, carefully tending to her garden, which provides an abundance of food throughout the warmer months. Her animals-goats, pigs, and chickens-not only offer companionship but also supply fresh milk, eggs, and meat, giving her a wholesome diet grounded in the fruits of her labor.
