Farm.stand: Poemales.II in collaboration with poet, Rosa Alcalá, was a collaborative poetry/visual art performance held at the 2010 Humanities and Education Research (HERA) Conference in downtown El Paso. The poems collected from our initial call for submissions were wrapped in corn husks to produce "poemales," locally produced poems about local food that conference attendees could "consume." In turn, the farm.stand collective hosted a writing workshop, allowing conference attendees to create their own poemal which was be sent back to those persons who initially submitted a poem.

The term "poemal" is an original concept of La Línea. The first public performance of Poemales by La Línea in collaboration with Caltranzit took place in Tijuana in 2004.
