The Birth of a Collective Effort
See a video about harvesting and using prickly pears by Collaborative Member Katya Miller, "Picking Tuna in the Desert." It is short, sweet, and delightful!

First Meeting: On January 20, 2010 a group of women with interest in gardening and backyard farming got together to talk about coordinating efforts in Albuquerque in  2010. We are launching this collective, (which still has no official name,) and for now will keep this particular effort to working with women, although we know we will also be gratefully working with men as well in other aspects of our work
