Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Roswell, Clovis and Eastern New Mexico
Eastern New Mexico is milk, cheese and peanut country. NMSU Extension says about 85% of the state's milk comes from Curry, Roosevelt, Chaves, Lea and Eddy counties, and New Mexico ranks 4th among states in cheese. Roswell has a Leprino Foods mozzarella plant, Clovis has the Southwest Cheese plant, and NMSU says most of the Valencia peanuts grown in the U.S. come from within 100 miles of Portales.
Roswell had 48,422 people in 2020, making it the fifth-largest city in New Mexico, and it is a center for irrigated farming, dairying and ranching. Its cafes serve red or green chile from breakfast on, and the calendar runs from Pioneer Days in Clovis every early June to the UFO Festival in Roswell every early July and the Peanut Valley Festival in Portales every October.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. Eastern New Mexico orders ship from our Denver warehouse, so Roswell and Clovis-area restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Roswell, Clovis, Portales, and Artesia. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, freezers, griddles, ranges, pizza prep tables, and food truck equipment.
Roswell and Clovis: Dairy and Cheese Country
NMSU's Chaves County Extension office reports that the county produced about 1.46 billion pounds of milk in 2024 from 53,000 milk cows. That makes it #2 in New Mexico for milk, #1 for alfalfa and #2 for pecans. Leprino Foods, which started in Denver in 1950, bought the former American Milk Producers plant in Roswell in 1993, and the original 120,000 square foot building has since nearly tripled in size. Wikipedia calls it one of the world's largest mozzarella factories. In Clovis, Southwest Cheese officially opened on October 11, 2006, and at its opening it was billed as one of the largest cheese and whey plants in the world. In 2020 the plant was taking in more than 220 truckloads of milk a day, and a $140 million expansion was announced that year.
Cheese country runs on pizza, enchiladas and queso, so kitchens here go through mozzarella and cheddar fast. Pizzerias need pizza prep tables and deck ovens, and every line needs reach-in refrigerators and freezers with room for case-size orders. Sandwich prep tables keep shredded cheese and toppings cold on the line, and countertop display cases work for cafes and bakeries selling grab-and-go.
Portales Valencia Peanuts and the Peanut Valley Festival
NMSU released the Valencia A peanut in 1971, and New Mexico's peanut acres are concentrated in Roosevelt and Lea counties. The New Mexico Department of Agriculture runs a peanut grading station in Portales for New Mexico and West Texas peanuts. Harvest usually runs from September to December, and the station inspected 94.4 million pounds of milled peanuts in 2021-22. Every October, the Peanut Valley Craft and Music Festival fills the Roosevelt County Fairgrounds, and it marked its 50th year in 2023. Portales is also where the Cattle Baron steakhouse started: Jeff Wilson opened the first one there in 1976, with his siblings working alongside him.
Festival vendors and caterers run on food truck equipment, fryers and ice machines. Steakhouses need charbroilers and reach-in refrigerators for cuts, and bakeries roasting and baking with local peanuts need ovens, work tables and countertop display cases.
Roswell Chile Breakfasts and Eastern New Mexico Summer Festivals
Downtown Roswell's Martin's Capitol Cafe on W. Fourth St. serves classic New Mexican food with red or green chile, from rellenos and tamales to enchiladas and sopaipillas. A 2026 Livability breakfast roundup also points to the Washtub Burrito at Cowboy Cafe, pork asado and eggs at La Escondida Cafe, machaca at Los Cerritos Mexican Kitchen, and chile-cheese kolaches at Roswell Donuts and Breakfast. The UFO Festival, held since the mid-1990s, takes over town every early July, and in 2026 it closed with a July 4 block party at Cielo Grande Recreation Area. In Clovis, every early June, the Curry County Mounted Patrol hosts the Pioneer Days Rodeo at the Curry County Events Center, with a downtown parade and a community breakfast.
Breakfast burritos and eggs come off griddles, sopaipillas and chips go through fryers, and pots of red and green chile hold all day on ranges. Tight downtown lines use chef bases and undercounter refrigerators, and festival weekends call for food truck equipment, ice machines and bar refrigeration.
Restaurant Supply Store in Roswell
We ship straight to your Roswell restaurant. Most Eastern New Mexico orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days from our Denver warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. Will-call pickup in Denver is available for verified restaurant businesses, but most kitchens skip the long drive to Colorado and let us ship it. The New Mexico Environment Department's Food Safety Program permits and inspects food establishments across Chaves, Curry, Roosevelt and Eddy counties, so there is one set of state rules to meet from Roswell to Clovis. Most calls here are for a fast replacement, like a freezer that quit before a festival weekend or an ice machine that can't keep up in July heat, or for a full package for a new cafe, pizzeria or food truck. Tell us what you are cooking and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line.
