Good evening everyone I hope everyone is doing well. I have been M.I.A. these past few weeks. In truth I was out of the states the past month. I spent half of November in Durango Mexico harvesting my frijol, it was an amazing experience full of learning opportunities and hard work. I must of shoveled over 20,000 pounds of frijol, breathed in insane amounts of fine dirt, and acquired a sick sun tan it was a total experience. I am thankful for the production yield, estimates stayed true 1 ton per hectare, which is amazing considering we used zero fertilizer and zero pesticides. Also, frijol negro requires more water and one additional month of growing. Glad to be back and reincorporate myself to the Latino StartUP. I put together a one minute video of all the pictures and videos taken during our growing season 2025. We tried to capture the different stages of the growing season.

Good afternoon you are all invited to the East Los Angeles Mexican Independence Day Parade & Festival Sunday, Sep. 14th, 2025 Cesar Chavez and Mednik10:00 AM. Come join in on the fun with family and friends.
