Roosevelt County is the same size as the state of Delaware and is one of the nation’s most important dairy and value-added food production centers.  Local world-class producers include DairiConcepts, one of the nation’s largest milk solids plant, Sunland Inc., the largest US producer of certified organic peanut butter, and Southwest Cheese is the largest American-style cheddar cheese plant in the USA.

Portales is home to Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU), the third largest university in the state with over 4,000 students and 700 faculty and staff. Over 24% of Portales residents hold a bachelors, masters, or doctorate degree. The cost of living in Portales is only 83% of the US average. The sun shines over 275 days a year, and temperatures are moderate. These are among the factors that earned Portales top quality of life rankings in a recent survey of 577 small towns in America (Bizjournals.com).
