Amaranth Harvest Party

Our Amaranth harvest party on Aug. 2nd was a huge success. Not only did we get alot of wild Amaranth harvested but we also got all of our veggies harvested in record time. We had a nice family of five join us from the Tucson,AZ. area as well as a few local folks that live near our farm. We were also blessed by recieving help from a group of African refugees coordinated by Iskashitaa Refugee Harvesting Network in Tucson,AZ. www.fruitmappers.org All together we had about 35 people helping out with 20 of those being the African group. After the work was done we all had a fantastic meal that was prepared by a professional chief (Kishor) that was part of the African group. Kishor and some helpers literally took over our kitchen and cooked up a storm preparing all sorts of delicious dishes. It was a real treat to have this great help in the kitchen for we generally do all the cooking for these events. Our sincere thanks go out to all who helped us with the harvest, it was a very special event. Please see pictures below.

Working and having fun! Our harvest party on Sat. the 24th of May was a great success! We had about 15 people working out in the field and had 45 rows of garlic taken up and brought in by lunch time. At 1:00 p.m. Etta served everyone a fabulous meal much of which came from our farm and other farms near by. It was a great day to be with family and friends working in nature. Our sincere thanks go out to all of you who helped us with the harvest. Your the Best!
