Ash Abeyta is from Espanola, New Mexico and has been working on vegetable farms for over a decade. They are now part of a farming collective in Albuquerque called Ashokra Farm where they work to reimagine a farming future that is non-hierarchical and safe for queer and BIPOC farmers. They are proud to be growing food in their home state where they grew up baling alfalfa with their father and grandfather. They have deep reverence for the land that they tend, and believe that if you care for the land, it will care for you tenfold.
