Building Awareness of Food Heritage

At Cucina di Madre Terra, we're dedicated to conserving indigenous culinary knowledge through the preservation, documentation, and revival of traditional Southern U.S. food agriculture. We believe that local food heritage is a potent yet underdeveloped tool for economic development.

Our mission is to increase consumers’ awareness and demand for healthy, local cuisine and produce by establishing lasting connections between urban and rural communities. Through these partnerships, small farmers and producers can educate and inform consumers about culinary and agricultural traditions, facilitating product pipelines and fostering a thriving local food economy.
