City College
Urban Milpa
(Next to Centre City
Continuing Education)
A second urban farm has been created at City College to grow maize, beans, squash, and other products following the “milpa” system—a Mesoamerican agricultural tradition. For more than 5,000 years societies of North and Central America have practiced milpa agriculture which creates a harmonious relationship between farmers and fields, carbohydrates and proteins, soil and animals, and humans and Mother Earth.
Students from the City College Chicano/a Studies, Biology and English Departments, supported and guided by the farmers of Seeds at City Urban Farm, prepared the soil and planted maize. Now, the corn is ready! You are invited to the harvest day: Sep 26, 1 pm, at the Milpa, next to Center City (Park Blvd & Russ Blvd, in front of City College).
