Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, NM 87107
It is with Gratitude to Mother Earth that we again plant Amaranth with members of Qachuu Aloom from Guatemala and Refugees partners at Tres Hermanas Farm. In Guatemala, Amaranth is known as labi’ses, while many refugees from Africa know it as it as Lenga-Lenga. This cultural exchange brings together communities from across oceans to join in friendship and solidarity as they plant the tiny Amaranth seed. Last year, many commonalities were found in the way the seed is honored in the different cultures. We shared stories, seeds, recipes, laughter, and tears of remembrance in the three 2017 events.
Tres Hermanas Farm is a program that connects refugees with land, tools and seeds to grow a healthy future here in Albuquerque. It is a program of the Lutheran Family Services Rocky Mountain Refugee and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS).
