The milpa has fed and provided nutrition to our communities for millennia. For over 13 years our collective of families plants and cares for 5 community gardens, 1 community orchard and recently a 4 acre community farm located in the Pajaro Valley (Watsonville and Pajaro), CA. As a migrant community and farmworkers we find ourselves amid one of the most productive valleys for the extractive agroindustry, in the Central Coast of California- surrounded by monocultures of berries frequently exported to 5 continents. Over the last five years we have organized ourselves through our customary form of assembly as our central form of shared decision-making: a space of knowledge creation and sharing representing the communality that emerges from our milpas (biodiverse cornfields). This is how we became Tierras Milperas in 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1615448765366-QJH99L723PHBFNCYE69Z/IMG-6885.jpg Home - Our Work We are liberating our original livelihoods from the extractive agroindustry by reconnecting our ~110 campesino/a families to the living memory of our native seeds, customs, our traditional forms of social organization, and innovating alternative forms of community exchange and community economics. With our assembly we are transitioning towards community stewardship to attain community farmland tenure and ecological sustainability using traditional farming practices in dialogue with California Native communities, native seed stewardship, transterritorial organizing with campesino struggles in the global south, and agroecology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1622233339293-W16UFJ57T7JHAJ16WP4R/MaizyfrijoledmiTierra.jpg Home - Milpa Food Sovereignty 10,000 years to today… What We’re About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1625332901467-XNRKJIJUW5YHWYP11WPG/TiMilli+Logo.png Home https://tierrasmilperas.org/whatwereabout daily 0.75 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1625116319577-4XTWN90OUTHW7GJ7HHT3/tempImageMCDoW8.gif What We're About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/c13ad68b-e6ee-4629-bbf9-8c8b0fd7b764/TODOS+SOMOS+TIERRAS+MILPERAS.png https://tierrasmilperas.org/inicio daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/5fa84443-f1de-4fe3-9323-c5d0c8b91e04/tempImage0axXJA.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/950dc3ba-336e-431c-8d90-2e7597d68ebf/tempImage0iSAtk.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/946486f4-e3c4-411e-aa89-6750086eab4a/tempImagemWUYPD.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1622407817078-B9TECY2YAA7PWWZMWWUS/155866710_1535149436675819_2860202996540421480_n.jpg Inicio - QUIENES SOMOS Venimos de muchas generaciones de cultivar nuestras milpas tradicionales en el sur global como campesinos/as. La milpa ha alimentado y proporcionado nutrición a nuestras comunidades durante milenios. En los últimos 10 años, hemos sembrado y cuidado 6 jardines y huertas comunitarios en el Valle de Pajaro (Watsonville y Pajaro). Incluyendo ahora un terreno nuevo de 4 acres sembrado por 30 familias. Como comunidad migrante y campesina nos encontramos en medio de uno de los valles más productivos, en la Costa Central de California, rodeados de monocultivos de agroindustria berries que frecuentemente exportan su producción a 5 continentes. Durante los últimos tres años nos hemos organizado a través de nuestra forma comunitaria la asamblea, nuestra forma central de toma de decisiones: un espacio de creación e intercambio de conocimiento que representa la comunidad que emerge de nuestras parcelas de milpas para lograr la soberanía alimentaria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1615448765366-QJH99L723PHBFNCYE69Z/IMG-6885.jpg Inicio - El Trabajo Trabajamos juntos y juntas para nuestra liberacion de la agroindustria extractiva al volver a conectarnos como mas de 110 familias campesinas con la memoria viva de nuestras semillas nativas, costumbres, formas tradicionales de organizarnos e innovar formas alternativas de intercambio comunitario y hacer economía comunitaria. Con nuestra asamblea y la dirección comunitaria lograremos la tenencia de tierras agrícolas comunales y la sostenibilidad ecológica poniendo en práctica nuestros conocimientos de la tierra en diálogo con las comunidades nativas de California, la recuperación y la producción de semillas nativas, la organización transterritorial con los campesinos en el sur global quienes también luchan por otros mundo sin contaminación de la tierra ni explotación laboral. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1622407855183-JPNWD1FPN6EZBP60RGC8/155794265_1535149393342490_4187924244429982895_n.jpg Inicio - Soberania Alimentaria Milpera Desde 10,000 años hacia el futuro La milpa es donde cosechamos nutricion, cultura, y organizacion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/33dc46a2-c8c8-4ea0-9be5-907ad1efe761/TM+LF+J.jpg Inicio https://tierrasmilperas.org/tmillihace daily 0.75 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/1625116315370-4HF4KOKSZTRYRAAFYAC2/tempImageZqhzW1.png Lo que hacemos - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/9275db37-83bd-443a-b73d-2e2c2e819632/TODOS+SOMOS+TIERRAS+MILPERAS.png https://tierrasmilperas.org/contctenostmilli daily 0.75 2024-09-05 https://tierrasmilperas.org/commsolidaridad daily 0.75 2025-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/13bcb608-5671-4f33-93bc-73193b473a80/tempImagefG4Ukx.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/5c83ef08-0897-4e7f-93f7-383aba7297c5/tempImageXyy1e8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/e9d0688d-09cb-4903-9f04-69063f6d9884/TODOS+SOMOS+TIERRAS+MILPERAS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/950dc3ba-336e-431c-8d90-2e7597d68ebf/tempImage0iSAtk.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/e5d9806b-e692-4068-99e3-51716a322d37/Don+Jose.jpg https://tierrasmilperas.org/community daily 0.75 2024-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/f8822f15-860a-45db-9e2f-2a0e5ba844b6/TODOS+SOMOS+TIERRAS+MILPERAS.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60346e317a7f975d8fc97bb5/cbbf28fb-7260-4230-9fa5-17366eef2dba/Don+Jose.jpg
