Somos Anahuac
We are migratory seeds, having traveled by land, water and air from our native lands of the South to the Pacific Northwest Territory of our continent. We understand what it means to adapt to survive a new climate as much as what it means to preserve our culture and protect our way of life. We are resilient as we learn to grow in new soils but are reminded no matter where we grow on this continent we are the people of the corn, the Indigenous Peoples of Anahuac (what is now referred to as the entire continent of America) who have something valuable to contribute to humanity.
Our Mission
Rooted in our ancestral values, Anahuac is a community centered program and farm of the Capaces Leadership Institute that offers traditional education in agriculture, culinary and cultural arts, wellness and Indigenous languages.
The farm is located in Turner, Oregon surrounded by the Willamette Valley of the Pacific Northwest. The farms in our valley rely on our community, who are often referred to as farmworkers, to sustain our country’s food supply and monoculture system.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which communities are empowered with the freedom of choice, accessibility and restoration of responsibility to practice the ways of their ancestors to sustain humanity, all life and our Mother Earth for many generations to come.
