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.

Tending can look like:

  • Seeding

  • Transplanting

  • Tending to the Soil

  • Harvesting

  • Processing the corn

Most work begins in April with 1 - 2 days a month until October.

Hours are usually
9am - 3pm.
