Photo Title	Working in the Milpa
Photo Description	The people seen here are part of large farming family from a small pueblito in Mexico. They go out together to their milpa in the country every Sunday to do whatever is needed to raise maize, peppers, beans, squash, and marigolds (for religious celebrations) on their small area of farmland. Whatever is left after personal consumption is sold in local markets. The first order of business after unloading the trucks and cars is to start the cooking fire that will produce the wonderful foods eaten throughout the day of work. If the corn harvested has fungus, no problem – it’s cooked with onions and eaten in homemade tortillas. If the corn has worms, again no problem– they’re collected, cooked and eaten with freshly made salsa.
