Chito returned to Baja California Sur after 20 years in the US to cultivate his grandfather's land. This journey him the value of heritage and the freedom of being able to  work close to his family cultivating a resilient and healthy food system. Working together with Alianza para la Seguridad Alimentaria de Baja California Sur and its donors grows healthy food side-by-side with his family. He's created an oasis in the midst of the desert.

“I tell my children, the truth is here in this Ejido, I feel like I'm in the glory of God. ‘How’s that dad?’, ‘Well, you see, I was in the United States more than 20 years undocumented. I was afraid to go out to the store, that they would stop me, and ask me to see my papers. So much fear. Here I am free to go wherever I want, do what I want, and besides that I am on my land. I can eat from the tree and I can invite you to try a guava’. That's what brings me joy. I feel good. Grateful for life. I feel very fortunate.”

Here's to growing organic guavas and building a legacy for our families.
