Semilla means seed, in Spanish. A seed is a symbol of wholeness. In it we may find all that is required for the evolution of life on earth. Growing vegetables, herbs and fruits brings unending joy and a sense of community when we share with our neighbors the fruits of the garden. Learn to prepare seasonal foods & develop practical cooking skills. Traditional cooking methods involve slowing down, gathering with others to share time and space.  Semilla’s Kitchen encourages a natural way of life, in tune with the seasons.

We encourage the support of local markets and growers, organic & seasonal foods, sharing skills & resources with others.  Sharing lovingly prepared meals at the communal table is one of life’s great pleasures! Cooking & eating is a soul nourishing daily ritual that can be enjoyed by everyone. Planting a diverse variety of seeds in the earth supports the continuation & preservation of traditional food plants. Save & share seeds to be shared and planted again and again.

Semilla’s Kitchen aims to be a sustainable business by using organic, seasonal produce, sourced as locally as possible. Utilizing biodegradable crockery, cutlery and packaging, biodegradable cleaning products, solar power as much as we can at festivals, supporting local businesses, recycling and composting. As we continue to evolve and improve our operation, we become more and more sustainable.
