Join us for the premiere of a new video by the San Xavier Co-op Farm about the tepary bean! This event is hosted by Tucson City of Gastronomy along with Gabriel Vega who is the San Xavier Co-op Farm Manager, Amy Juan who is a community member/activist, and Joshua Preston, Francine Bautista, Maryia Miles who are allFarm employees.

The tepary bean is an ancient Tohono O’odham food that continues to grow in the Sonora Desert due to its cultural significance, drought tolerance, health benefits, and delicious taste. In tandem with the video, farm staff share cultural perspective and modern recipes for White Tepary Bean Hummus and Vegan Red Tepary Bean Brownies.

“The San Xavier Cooperative Association practices healthy farming and grows traditional crops to support the cultural and environmental values of the Tohono O’odham people as well as economic development within the community.”
