I wanted to create a way people could enjoy freshly baked goods (breads, cookies and homemade cakes) like I made for the Dahlonega's Farmers Market to take home year round. Now they can simply Call, Text 706-239-7323 or email me at [email protected] to place an order.

👇 Three sisters WORKS.

Our industrial agricultural system has billions of dollars of investment into RnD, GMOs, fertilizers and the “best” scientists. 

And yet, Three Sisters consistently and reproducibly grows more biomass per acre than a monoculture. 

It also does this WITHOUT fertilizers, pesticides and it actually improves the health of the soil every year.

How?

Three Sisters leverages "niche complementarity," where each plant benefits the others: beans fix nitrogen, corn provides a structure for beans to climb, and squash acts as ground cover, reducing weeds and moisture loss. 

🤓 Fun fact: there was also a 4th sister that was sometimes used. Can you guess what it is? (Hint, it’s a tall flower that was used to help attract pollinators and beneficial insects)

The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) developed this system in what is now called North America. Using keen observation, and understanding the connected nature of all things, the Iroquois were able to develop a system that produced more nutrition per acre, didn’t deplete the soils, helped biodiversity and stored more carbon in the soil. 

They also figured out nixtamalization, which transforms corn’s nutritional profile and makes the vitamin B3 available to humans. Without this, corn on it’s own would eventually deprive your body of B3. Polycultures can provide all the nutrients humans actually need to survive.

Growing polycultures makes sense if you want to feed humans. Growing monocultures makes sense if you want to raise corn futures on the stock exchange.

So why are we still growing monocultures?

We’re losing top soil at alarming rates, causing algae blooms in the ocean, and the nutrient and mineral content of our vegetables continues to drop even as we use MORE fertilzers.

Something has to change.

Indigenous cultures across the globe had already figured out regenerative systems, well before colonization. So why are we not learning from their successes? 

Why do we continue down this destructive path and ignore indigenous knowledge?
