Ejido Forest Protection Project

Project Overview

It’s a big, beautiful world, and we want to do our part to help keep it that way. In order to become a more sustainable brand, we’ve partnered with EcoCart to help offset our carbon emissions. EcoCart is helping us support forest regeneration in Puebla, Mexico, through the The Puebla Project.

The Puebla Project reinvests carbon revenue generated through online sales and shipping (this is reflected in the extra, optional expense shown at checkout) into the Puebla community. This small contribution means increased access to clean water, education, health care, and improved standards of living for our familia in Puebla.

Why Puebla?

As a Mexican-American familia, our ties to Mexico date back tothe Garzas,Grandma Campos, and beyond. It’s where the inspiration for flavor, textures, and form for our heritage-inspired foods come from; it’s where our family’s love of vibrant colors and patterns—otomi, god’s eye, serape and otherwise—is inspired by; it’s where our strong ties to music, food, family and connection started.
