It's an ancient Mayan technique to improve the soil and grow more and better food.

It starts with the 3 Sisters: Corn, Beans, and Squash. These three plants help each other by deterring pests, attracting beneficial insects, and putting nitrogen in the soil. Then the Milpa strategy expands by adding a variety of other fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants to mimic the natural diversity in our environment.

Our hats are off to Green Cover Seed for donating the seed to plant our garden. Their only requirement is for us to donate at least 50% of what we grow.

We are meeting that 50% and then some.

But WE NEED YOUR HELP! We harvest several times a week and are donating almost everything we pick, but we can't keep up. Come join us! Help us feed the world by starting with our local community!
