#FoodSovereignty Team Shares Knowledge, Nourishes Community This Fall
#CommunityGardening and #SeedSaving remain central to the team’s efforts, despite the challenges this year due to excessive summer heat, pervasive drought and a dwindling water supply. Fortunately, the garden at Ho’n A:wan Park is now thriving with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures and some rain.

Excerpt: "The food sovereignty team also recently hosted two workshops for the Zuni community. One was a virtual workshop on pickling, which #ZYEP recorded and uploaded to social media so it would always be accessible.
" 'Khass pickled cucumbers, chili peppers, onions and purslane, which grows abundantly here,' Seowtewa said, noting that purslane, a fleshy-leafed succulent plant, tastes a lot like artichoke hearts.
"ZYEP also hosted an in-person workshop in partnership with James and Joyce Skeets, owners of Vanderwagen, New Mexico-based Spirit Farm. Fifteen community members attended the workshop, which gave them opportunities to learn about—and taste—some of the plants grown at the farm, including basil, hyssop, chili peppers, mint, nasturtiums and Stevia leaf."
