About this listen

🌽✨ Aquilli Metzli: Indigenous Farming & Food Sovereignty in Humboldt ✨🌱 Tune into the latest Humboldt County Grown episode with Octavio, Adriana & Oscar of Aquilli Metzli Masa Co-op—a farmer/artisan collective reviving the ancestral milpa system (think Three Sisters + 500 cousins!). 🔴 Why "Aquilli Metzli"? Red = indigenous resilience + labor justice 🌾 Moon = rising tide of land-back movements 🌕 Corn = cultural rebirth & food sovereignty 🌽 🌿 More Than Farming:Co-op model = horizontal power, living wages, and keeping $$ local 💸 • Work parties = communal land-tending + feasting (because farming shouldn’t be lonely!) 👩🌾🎉 • Milpa magic = biodiversity, medicine, and kids playing in pesticide-free fields 🌻 🚜 Join the Movement: • Volunteer at a work party (follow @aquillimetzli) • Support local masa • Help fill gaps: cold storage, cal production, land access 💬 "The land is our culture. When we grow food together, we grow community." #AquilliMetzli #LandBack #FoodSovereignty #HumboldtGrown
