Reimagining our Food System
We’ve taken the responsibility to create a food system that leads to greater health and food security on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
-
Growing Food
Our regenerative agriculture practices produce the healthiest foods we can grow while healing the land. That means no chemicals or pesticides ever! Thousands of pounds of highly nutritious produce have been grown and made accessible to the San Carlos community through our trusted partnerships.
-
Preserving Culture
We are blessed to be able to grow crops that are culturally significant to San Carlos. The Apache Giant Squash, Apache Red Sugarcane, and Apache Red Corn are a few that are highly requested. Our culture is connected to our food and we are introducing them to a new generation.
-
Mentoring our Youth
Today’s youth are often disconnected to the land and to the food they eat. It is our priority to share our knowledge and guide our youth towards healthy living and responsibility towards their community. Our greatest mentorship opportunities occur when we work side-by-side with those willing to learn.
