SUMMARY:Amaranth Greens Cooking Demo
DESCRIPTION:In early June\, we planted amaranth with Community Services Unlimited\, Inc. On July 30th\, join us to learn how to cook delicious meals using healthy amaranth greens in your home! \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:Qachuu Aloom Presentation at Beyond Baroque
DESCRIPTION:Please Join the Seed Library of Los Angeles\, Kiss The Ground\, and Environmental Change Makers as they welcome Qachuu Aloom Farmers Association and The Garden’s Edge to Beyond Baroque. \nQachuu Aloom farmers will present their work in Guatemala around farms\, gardens\, seed saving\, community health\, farmer exchanges\, education\, and economic sustainability. \n\n  \nEVENT DETAILS:\nThe farmers will present a slide show and answer questions about their project.\nLOCATION: Beyond Baroque\nADDRESS: 681 Venice Blvd\, Venice\, CA 90291\nSTART TIME: 8:00 PM \nRSVP on Facebook to receive event updates. \nEvent Sponsors include:\nSeed Library of Los Angeles\,\nKiss The Ground\,\nEnvironmental Change-Makers\, and\nMetabolic Studio. \n\n  \nAdditional information from one of the event sponsors\, Environmental Change Makers: \nWhen aid organizations brought only hybrid and GMO seeds that the farmers could not replant to grow food\, fields went barren.  A few elders brought out precious stashes of old varieties of seed that had been saved in old bottles and roof tiles.  Thus started an organization that seems to be part seed library\, part community revitalization\, and part cultural re-membering. \nHere is a beautiful story about Qachuu Aloom seed saving (pdf) as described in Baker Creek’s magazine\, and another conveying their remark that the permaculture principles are “just like I learned from my grandmother.” \nYou can RSVP to Environmental Change Makers by filling out this form.
