SUMMARY:Amaranth Cooking Demo
DESCRIPTION:Join Valentina and Olga from Qachuu Aloom at Wild Willow Farm on July 29th. We will be preparing recipes with the Amaranth greens we planted in May. \nWild Willow Farm  is now in its fourth year of farming and growing food while educating local citizenry about sustainable farming\, permaculture and how to live sustainably in southern California \nFrom the organizers:\nMaya farmers from The Qachuu Aloom Association in Guatemala are sharing their Amaranth seeds across the Americas and beyond. Through passing on the Amaranth seeds we build connections\, friendships\, and a movement. Each of the amaranth fields we help plant in Guatemala\, New Mexico\, and California bring us new lessons and connections. \nIn Guatemala we first experienced amaranth through the Kaqchikel Maya women. They taught the Maya Achi women of Qachuu Aloom how to plant\, cook\, and prepare amaranth. As the women planted\, they shared stories of hardship\, war\, and motherhood. Among tears shed\, there was also much laughter. Years later the women of Qachuu Aloom still plant Amaranth-hundreds of fields are spread across 24 villages. We use this ancient grain that was once abundant in Maya culture in our maternal health project and it brings income\, improves nutrition\, and re-connects families. \nQachuu Aloom families continue to share this seed. Their journey has taken them to the pueblos of New Mexico\, Arizona\, and California. Each Amaranth Field we plant is used forfarmer-to-farmer exchanges\, community workshops\, and events around seeds\, plants\, food\, and sustainable practices. Amaranth fields are statements of our connection to each other\, the land\, and the food we labor to grow. Seed sharing embodies our personal and collective agency. \nWe hope these events will be a time to reawaken the excitement and awe that comes from witnessing what germinates from a tiny seed and time spent together. The experience of growing these seeds together is the experience of being stronger together in this time of urgent need for change\, and it can start with just a few seeds.

SUMMARY:Tamale Making Party!
DESCRIPTION:We will have 3 women from Qachuu Aloom joining us to share their stories and skills in tamale making.   In Guatemala\, tamales are usually made with dough and filled with pork\, chicken or vegetables\, then wrapped in banana leaves. Traditionally\, communities get together to make tamales for special events such as weddings\, birthdays and other celebrations.  When communities come together to make tamales\, they create space to share stories\, teach the youth\, and pass down knowledge and other cultural practices. \nWe’ll also share updates from our project in Guatemala.  Valentina and Olga are in New Mexico for the month of July as part of a traditional healers exchange at UNM.  They are representing our Maternal Health and Nutrition project in Guatemala.  Please join us!  Nos vemos! \nText Sarah at 505-948-8398 for directions.  RSVP Here!

SUMMARY:Amaranth planting at Tres Hermanas Farm
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be planting Amaranth at Tres Hermanas Farm with Lutheran Family resettlement Agency. \nTres Hermanas farm\, is a community garden located at the Rio Grande Community Farm.  The Program manager Zoey Fink says\, “the goal of the program is to empower the Albuquerque refugee population by providing them with space to grow for themselves\, and for their families and then to help them access market places that they wouldn’t know otherwise how to access.” \nThe  Amaranth is a plant also known and loved by many of Albuquerque’s African refugee community.  We are so happy to be able to reconnect people with one of their plant kin through this cultural exchange.

SUMMARY:Second Annual Amaranth Seed Sowing Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second annual amaranth seed sowing ceremony.  This event is co-hosted by The Learning Garden\, Qachuu Aloom and The Gardens Edge! This is a special event that doesn’t happen very often in Los Angeles. The event is free although we would appreciate donations so we can provide hot coffee and tea in the cool evening hours (dress warm!) \nAmaranth is a very important plant to cultivate for our future because it can take very hot and very low temperatures and still produce a crop\, a quality that will make it one of our most reliable food crops in the coming decades.

SUMMARY:Seed Ceremony with The Bishop Paiute Tribe
DESCRIPTION:It is with Gratitude to Mother Earth that we gather together on Q’anil\, the day of the seed in the Cholq’ij Mayan calendar\, May 17th\, 2017.  We ask that on this day we all go out into our fields and gardens to welcome the light of the rising sun in honor of the seeds that support and sustain life for all living beings\, and for their their regeneration and renewal. \nOn this day we honor the seeds for the connection they give us to the soil\, water\, sun\, animals\, plants\, and our ancestors. We honor our ancestors for the knowledge that has been passed. We pray to recall the knowledge of our ancestors that has been forgotten\, for the sowing and harvest\, for the harmony of all living creatures\, for understanding\, for the health of our communities and our connections to each other. \nThe Garden’s Edge and The Bishop Paiute Tribe will bless and plant Amaranth together. Please join us!

SUMMARY:Amaranth Harvest with the Bishop Paiute Tribe
DESCRIPTION:In early June\, we planted amaranth at with members of the Bishop Paiute Tribe’s Food Sovereignty Program. On September 13th\, join us for an amaranth harvest to reap the fruits of our labor and learn more about this healthy grain. \nFrom the organizers:\nMaya farmers from The Qachuu Aloom Association in Guatemala are sharing their Amaranth seeds across the Americas and beyond. Through passing on the Amaranth seeds we build connections\, friendships\, and a movement. Each of the amaranth fields we help plant in Guatemala\, New Mexico\, and California bring us new lessons and connections. \nIn Guatemala we first experienced amaranth through the Kaqchikel Maya women. They taught the Maya Achi women of Qachuu Aloom how to plant\, cook\, and prepare amaranth. As the women planted\, they shared stories of hardship\, war\, and motherhood. Among tears shed\, there was also much laughter. Years later the women of Qachuu Aloom still plant Amaranth-hundreds of fields are spread across 24 villages. We use this ancient grain that was once abundant in Maya culture in our maternal health project and it brings income\, improves nutrition\, and re-connects families. \nQachuu Aloom families continue to share this seed. Their journey has taken them to the pueblos of New Mexico\, Arizona\, and California. Each Amaranth Field we plant is used for farmer-to-farmer exchanges\, community workshops\, and events around seeds\, plants\, food\, and sustainable practices. Amaranth fields are statements of our connection to each other\, the land\, and the food we labor to grow. Seed sharing embodies our personal and collective agency. \nWe hope these events will be a time to reawaken the excitement and awe that comes from witnessing what germinates from a tiny seed and time spent together. The experience of growing these seeds together is the experience of being stronger together in this time of urgent need for change\, and it can start with just a few seeds.
