🌱 Before the harvest comes the groundwork.

These photos take us back to our August 2024 farm-preparation visit—a chapter in Sheba Farms Project’s teff-growing journey in California.

What happens before planting? Our first-stage work brought together three essentials:

🌍 Soil testing and preparation
💧 Irrigation setup
🚜 Clearing and leveling the land

A harvest is more than what we see at the end. It begins with planning, preparation and people working together. Sharing these early steps helps connect the food on our tables with the work behind it.

For us, teff also carries a connection to Ethiopian food traditions and the communities that keep them alive. 💚💛❤️

What would you like us to explain next: teff, land preparation or the journey from grain to injera?

🌾 Small seed. Deep roots. Meet teff.

If you’ve enjoyed injera, you’ve met one of Ethiopia’s most treasured grains. Teff is traditionally milled into flour and fermented to make that soft, tangy flatbread—a foundation of Ethiopian meals and shared tables.

At Sheba Farms Project, our journey connects this food heritage with California soil. From preparing the land to our teff harvest in Capay Valley, every stage is an opportunity to learn about where food comes from and the people who grow it.

🌱 Why does this matter? Growing familiar cultural foods locally helps keep food traditions alive and creates opportunities for communities to learn from one another.

Have you tried teff or injera? Tell us about your first taste. 💚💛❤️

🌾✨ "There's a saying that 'GOLD is in the GRASS.' Standing here in the beautiful Capay Valley, just an hour from Sacramento, I can truly say this is the case. 🌟 For the first time, we are harvesting Teff right here in California!

Native to Ethiopia, where it has nourished civilizations for millennia, this ancient supergrain is finding a new home in the West. At Sheba Farms, this harvest represents so much more than just food; it’s about nutrition, history, and reclaiming our legacy on this land.

🌱 The Supergrain: Small Seed, Big Impact 🌱
Let's dive into why Teff is such a miraculous crop:
🌾 Gluten-Free: A perfect alternative for modern diets.
💪🏾 Iron-Rich: Naturally combats fatigue.
🥛 High Calcium: Packs more calcium per serving than nearly any other grain.

Join us in celebrating this incredible journey and the nutritious future we are cultivating! 🙌🏾✨
