Project Description
Support for this initiative will increase food sovereignty and security while strengthening the local agriculture-food system in Costilla County. Local agriculture traditions will be rekindled, the San Luis grocery store will be renovated and expanded, a new commercial kitchen will increase production of local value added foods, and youth will reconnect to the land, acequias, and healthy food while developing skills that will support them to remain in their villages and secure employment.
