Supporting the Milpa

Milpa comes from the Nahauat word milli (“sown field”) and pan (“on top of”) which refers to the farming practice used throughout Mesoamerica. We honor the Milpa system by tending the Three Sisters: corn, squash, and beans.

We gather together to tend this community on Sundays from 1-4pm. If you feel connected to this community, please join us.

Tending can look like:

  • Seeding

  • Transplanting

  • Tending to the Soil

  • Harvesting

  • Processing the corn

  • Making tamales

  • Canning Salsa

  • Nixtamalizing Corn

  • Making Masa
