Hello one and all, I hope everyone is having a safe and blessed Fourth of July.
We had a Great harvest today for South West Food hub located out in Silver City NM.
The crops shown below are two of many edible plant varieties that grow wild all over southern New Mexico as well as much as the South West regions of North America. These plants are deeply imbedded in our culture here in the borderland , by feeding many of the
Indigenous societies that have been on these lands for tens of thousands of years.

At food 4 thought farms, we have made it our mission to reintroduce these ancestral super foods, especially in this day in age with our ever increasingly hotter and dryer climate.

Purslane is also helpful for supporting your cardiovascular system. It is one of the few vegetables that's rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are important to support healthy arteries and can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and other forms of heart disease.
