The Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps (ALCC) Farm Corps is comprised of offices of Acoma, Isleta, and Zuni Pueblos. Their collective work creates a unity of tradtional farming practices, rematriation of seeds, and growing community among each other. Their goal is to revitalize those teachings back to their homelands while fostering the next generation of farmers.
Every step of their agricultural process is passed down through a lineage of learning. Growing their own crops organically, from farm to table . Each harvest is then distributed to communities free of charge to break bread with. The seeds are then preserved and put into a seedbank collection to be saved for future generations.
The Farm Corps are busy with projects across their communities, from Acoma’s constant fieldwork and collaboration with local programs like the Acoma Senior Center to Zuni Farm Corps construction and maintaining several community gardens. Working with tribal governments to revive traditional farming has been a process of reciprocity, built on trust and care. Tribal sovereignty between the pueblos allows these projects flourish for our program participants and members of the community. Check out the great work that stemmed from a established conservation corps model to a flourishing example of returning to our roots!
