WEBISODE | Enchilada Gardener | New Mexico PBS
- At the beginning of the summer, I wanted to know more about local farmers' markets. I talked with folks at the New Mexico Farmers' Marketing Association, and they put me in touch with the organizers of the Corrales Growers' Market, Al and Bonnie Gonzales. They, in turn, introduced me to Mike Wheelock.
Mike has an ordinary home in an ordinary subdivision just outside the Corrales village limits. He's converted every inch of his backyard to garden. He's employed the enchilada method, also known as the lasagna method, in which he layers soaker hoses, builders' paper and compost -- just like a flat enchilada! He says this has saved him from watering and battling the weeds. In fact, before using this method, which was suggested by a friend, he had almost given up his hobby of gardening out of frustration.
Now, his hobby helps pay for the mortgage on his house and his adult daughters' education at the University of New Mexico.
I truly thank the New Mexico Farmers' Marketing Association, the Gonzales family, the Wheelock Family and the Squash Blossom Boys (who provided the soundtrack for my video by allowing me to tape their live performance at the market).

La Semilla Food Center Offers Camps That Explore Food, Culture, And Art
La Semilla Food Center in Anthony, New Mexico is kicking off two camps that are aimed at educating kids about food from different cultures along with mixing food with art.
The first camp called Food and Farms of the World, will take place June 16-19th. This camp offers kids in grades K-2nd an opportunity to explore farming practices from different cultures according to Catherine Yanez, Program Coordinator with La Semilla Food Center.
It's going to be a place where we can tie food to different regions of the world and still have fun, cooking, and also gardening. We will try to grow some of the foods in our cooking workshops, and have the kids not only plant them, but also cook them, says Yanez.
Another camp titled Culinary Arts, for 3rd to 5th grade students will take place June 23-25th. This camp offers an opportunity for students to learn how to make cheese from milk, learn how to dry fruit, and even make their own tea blends. The camp also gives students the chance to turn food into actual art.
According to Aaron Sharratt, Director of Development and Administration of La Semilla Food Center says the camps are a great opportunity to expand the organization's mission to the region's next generation.
The programs that we normally operate at the farm are really aimed at high school students and young adults. We really want to begin making the connection also with younger children and their families at the farm, says Sharratt.
La Semilla Food Center is also preparing to welcome two students to an apprenticeship program this summer that will offer more farm experience for local students who have already completed other programs the organization has offered according to La Semilla Food Center's Farm Director, Cristina Dominguez-Eshelman.
They've been involved at the farm, but they have also received lessons about food systems, why it matters, food justice, and how we improve our food system. So this is an opportunity to hone in on the production and marketing aspect of it,says Dominguez-Eshelman.
The Food Center also operates a community garden in Anthony, New Mexico and during the school year works with area school districts to plant school gardens during the school year.
For more information on the camps and other programs you can visit the organization's website at lasemillafoodcenter.org. The deadline for both camps this month has been extended until June 11th.

Visita De La Familia De Ernesto Galarza A San Jose, California

Ernesto Galarza: Man On Fire
Edited Article: read the entire piece at:
Before Cesar Chavez, there was Ernesto Galarza to lead the seemingly endless struggle to bring economic and social justice to America's Mexican-American farm workers. But even many who have followed the struggle may have forgotten Galarza, who died in San Jose a quarter-century ago.
I haven't forgotten. I still vividly recall talking with Galarza shortly after he announced his retirement in 1978. I couldn't believe it, couldn't believe he was actually abandoning his extraordinary lifelong crusade in behalf of farm workers and Mexican-Americans generally.
We were on the telephone. Ernesto! You're kidding!' I damn near shouted, much as Galarza had often shouted to me over the phone when I had to explain that while I was quite sympathetic to his cause, the newspaper I worked for - the San Francisco Chronicle - was not particularly sympathetic. In any case, as I told him repeatedly, my paper was not interested in reporting every one of his many examples of the poor treatment of farm workers and what he thought must be done - right now! - to overcome their mistreatment.
Galarza never accepted that, never eased his demands for thorough newspaper coverage of each of the many injustices he uncovered, particularly those involving the federal bracero program, which enabled U.S. growers, with government assistance, to import masses of penniless, undemanding Mexicans to replace U.S. workers who struck or otherwise demanded better treatment.
In 1950, for instance, Galarza led a strike of several thousand tomato pickers in the Stockton area who sought an increase in their poverty-level pay, only to have them replaced by some 2,000 braceros who were escorted across the picket lines by deputy sheriffs and state highway patrolmen.
Retiring? Yes, Galarza's shining black hair and thick bushy eyebrows had turned an unruly white. His sharp features had softened. His once fierce penetrating glare had softened. And the words he once shot out in sharp, intense indignity now flowed at a soft, slow, almost melodious pace. It was impossible to believe nonetheless. But Ernesto Galarza insisted. He was indeed retiring from his long struggle to wrest economic and social justice for Mexican Americans from the growers and other Anglos who ran American society.
By Galarza's own account there was still very much to be done, and the new wave of activists led by Cesar Chavez and other leaders and followers of the United Farm Workers needed every bit of help they could muster. But at age 72, Galarza was in effect worn out.
