MEET ESTELA AND HER VEGETABLE PATCH!

Estela is 36 and lives in Monte Quemado. She has been attending our Center for 5 years, and, in collaboration with INTA’s “Prohuerta Program”, she receives seeds to keep her vegetable patch growing steady at home.

Her vegetable patch grows chards, squash, beetroots, carrots, onions, and parsley, which she uses to make pies and casseroles for her families.

"Every day, I water the patch early in the morning and in the afternoon, so the sun won’t ruin the leaves. It’s been raining recently, and the vegetables have grown a lot. I got two big squashes, and there are a few more, but they are still green".
