About

For many generations, women have put food on the table for the entire family.  They have guarded the seeds and kept secrets unrevealed.

Through the course of generations and the desertion of lands, we hardly realize that we are losing the knowledge that fed us.

These guardians remain our opportunity to not to forget our roots.
