So many seeds, processes, human-powered tools, and food. Amaranth was threshed by hand over a tarp and winnowed by pouring it from a height to let the casings or chaff blow away. It was then popped on a hot pan and eaten. Apples were picked, fed into the grinder, pressed, and drunk. Corn was shelled, winnowed, and ground to make masa, cornbread, and atole. Seeds from plants with the most desirable traits were stored in the seed vault to await the next planting. At the farm, each process begets another in a reciprocal dance of renewal and decomposition.
