CAFE SIERRA NEGRA-NM

Café Sierra Negra, the brain-child of Melodie Milhoan, resident of Abiquiu, New Mexico is named for the mountain that rises behind the café next to the Rio Chama. Sierra Negra, meaning Black Mountain derives its name from the black, volcanic, basalt rocks that have rolled down and covered the mountain, as the valleys and arroyos formed from erosion... Rising out of the valley the mountain looms large from all points in Abiquiu, though not as famous as the mountain Georgia O'Keeffe called her own, the Pedernal to the West... Melodie and her husband, Artist Ron Milhoan moved to New Mexico in 2013, and build their modest home and Studio on a mesa on Sierra Negra. Melodie worked for the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum managing the tours of the O'Keeffe Home and Studio for 5 years until the Covid 19 Pandemic forced the museum to stop the tours.
