New Mexico has a 1.7-5.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 5.9%. Gross receipts tax (similar to sales tax) applies to services. Low cost of living. Small market. Santa Fe tourism creates seasonal demand.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $684/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most urban farmers in Albuquerque mix and match Square, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave plus other subscriptions. That's $684/year in subscriptions. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $3,420.
With Nexa, you own your tools. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — all in one platform. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. No add-on costs. It's a single payment — stop overpaying right away. For urban farmers in Albuquerque weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
He starts at the wash station because the chef accounts want their greens harvested and packed at first light for the lunch service. He cuts salad mix, spins it, weighs out the half-pound bags each restaurant ordered by text the night before, and stages them for pickup or his bike-trailer delivery. Between deliveries he's seeding the next succession in the empty bed, because on an intensive plot a day's delay cascades into a gap weeks later. He checks the drip timer, forks compost into a turned bed, and pulls row cover off the brassicas. Midday is the business end: three chefs texted orders, one wants to add an item, the CSA pickup is tomorrow and he needs to figure out the box contents from what's actually ready. He owes two restaurants invoices from last week and hasn't sent them, which means he hasn't been paid. He worries about the lot lease the city hasn't renewed yet, and whether the new hoop tunnel is money he'll lose if they don't. Evening he packs CSA shares, answers a chef's email about next week, and stares at the spreadsheet where the wholesale and retail prices live in his head more than on the page.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build an urban farmer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for an urban farmer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
