Saving Our Future by Looking to the Past

When was the last time you turned to your plate and thought about where it all comes from? Food, and the seeds that make it all possible, have an untold history all their own. And this group of Native American farmers is preserving this heritage to ensure we all have food security for generations to come!

Have you ever considered the story the food on your plate has to tell? The history of a fresh ear of corn as you nibble it off the cob on a hot summer evening? Or the hands that tended the beans tucked into your favorite burrito? The seeds at the foundation of our most beloved foods have ancient wisdom and stories all their own. And, the more we learn from them, the closer we come to the way food connects us to each other!
