Crop Stories is a core program of Utopian Seed Project, designed to creatively share the stories that connect people and places through food and seeds. We’re creating deeper connections and understanding of our foodways by focusing our outreach on crops, cultures, and cuisines.
The latest issue of Crop Stories is focused on PEAS, specifically the African-origin pea known by various names such as field peas, African peas, southern peas, and cowpeas.
This print edition features some excellent writers, artists, and chefs. Including a recipe from Sandra Gutierrez, poetry by Marilyn Nelson, essays by Keia Mastrianni and Janisse Ray, and artwork by Melissa DeSa and Naima Penniman.
