Proud to be a part of the Texas Mountain Trail, and ancient indigenous trade and survival route, today known as the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail.

Two National Historic Trails cross Texas: El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro and El Camino Real de los Tejas. Both of these routes were royal roads connecting distant parts of the Spanish empire in North America.

El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, which runs through Far West Texas, was a trade route between Mexico City and Santa Fe in present-day New Mexico. It was officially established as a Spanish road in 1598, but was based on Indigenous trails with much older history. Its path in Texas follows the Rio Grande past El Paso and San Elizario.

From farther downstream on the Rio Grande, parallel paths of El Camino Real de los Tejas run from Laredo and Guerrero, Mexico northeast to Natchitoches in what is now Louisiana. Like its western counterpart, the trail’s origins were in Native American usage. Spanish explorers named the route for the Caddo people, whom they called the Tejas.

📷: El Camino Real de los Tejas passes through Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, shown here, and Mission Dolores State Historic Site, among other destinations.

So excited about the latest retail space to come online as part of our County Healthy Food Financing Initiative! Desert Spoon Food Hub was part of our very first cohort after the Commissioners Court adopted the HFFI policy in 2018, receiving their award just two weeks before the pandemic shutdown. They are now a leading food hub, helping distribute our local and regional growers delicious, nutritious foods, addressing food insecurity all over El Paso County and Southern New Mexico!
Many thanks to our friends El Paso Matters for the positive coverage!

El Paso nonprofit Desert Spoon Food Hub opened a small market selling fresh organic fruits and vegetables, frozen foods and pantry staples in addition to expanded online grocery service.
