Dixon is an unincorporated village located in Rio Arriba County in the north-central part of the state. It lies along Highway 75, just east of Highway 68, high in the mountains at an elevation of 6028 feet above sea level. Dixon is situated on the banks of the Embudo River, which is a tributary of the Rio Grande River. The Embudo flows into the Rio Grande just two miles downstream from Dixon. The population of the village is approximately 1,500 and is predominately Hispanic. The surrounding Embudo Valley has become a significant fruit and grape growing region and the greater Dixon area boasts several fine wineries. The town of Dixon is also home to the largest population of organic farmers in the state. About two miles north of town, rock and mineral enthusiasts can visit the Harding Mine. A substantial number of artists also liv in the area. This has led to the creation of the Dixon Studio Tour, which draws many visitors to the town for a two-day event in November. Dixon hosts a farmer's market during the summer months and is home to a retreat center at Mission Embudo, which offers space for workshops and retreats for visitors.
