The Three Sisters 
​Culinary Series

May - August 2019

Join SAACA AND Native Seeds Search for a three-part dinner series celebrating each of the Three Sisters ingredients. Local chefs will present dishes highlighting corn, beans, and squash, letting their culinary ingenuity shine. Experience live entertainment, paired libations, educational touch points, and food to remember. ​

Why?

The Three Sisters is a wise agricultural practice that plants together corn—tall and supportive, beans—climbing vines that add nitrogen to the soil, and squash—sprawling to retain moisture and prevent weeds and thorny to prevent pests. Today, Native Seeds Search preserves many seeds grown this way and are using produce grown with these heirloom seeds throughout the culinary samplings at each event. ​
SAACA is proud to partner with Native Seeds SEARCH on this collaborative fundraising and outreach opportunity.
