Harvesting Heritage at Arizona’s Indigenous-Owned Farms

San Diego Magazine – “At San Xavier Co-Op, a farm on the Tohono O’odham Nation, Adrienne and I meet with Duran Andrews, the farm manager. He shows us around the property (San Xavier offers tours for visitors), pointing out all the parts of this large operation, including their focus on feed and traditional crops like 60-day corn and O’odham peas. For Andrews, Indigenous food sovereignty, especially that of the O’odham people, is why he does this work. ‘We—Native people—are the foundation of Tucson, of all Arizona,’ he says.”
