ABOUT NEW MEXICO EARTH ADOBES Notice: New Mexico Earth will be closed for the holidays from December eighteenth through January second. We will re-open Monday, January third. Since our inception in 1972, New Mexico Earth Adobes has grown into one of the largest adobe yards in the world. Our production approaches half a million adobes a year and with the modesty that comes from such back breaking labor, we claim to have made well over 15 million adobes. We have shipped adobes to the Smithsonian, to government research centers, to Electrical Audio Recording Studio and to many other locations. We make adobes the old fashion way: a mud mixture carefully poured in a wooden mold ; the mold lifted when the blocks are dry enough ; then, when ready, the adobes are turned on edge to complete drying.The adobes are then loaded onto trucks bound for the construction site or stored for winter sales when freezing weather precludes adobe block manufacture. Near the summer solstice this process takes about two weeks and grows longer as we leave the apogee of adobe making weather. The procedure is that simple.
