We’ll be planting Amaranth at Tres Hermanas Farm with Lutheran Family resettlement Agency.
Tres 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.”
The 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.
