The Chef Fueling Puerto Rico’s Renegade Kitchen | Eater

"An agroecological collective and nonprofit founded in 2010 that has evolved from a CSA to a food hub, a beloved restaurant and pop-up organizer, and—after Hurricane Maria—into a volunteer brigade and a regenerative agroecology organization. It is known for innovative plant-based fare served at restaurant locations and pop-ups, a public-facing organizer who led relief and farm-recovery efforts, and a quieter culinary lead who sources ingredients, cooks for brigades and benefit events, and translates the project’s food-sovereignty mission onto the plate. The group’s newly purchased farm property outside San Salvador (Caguas) is being developed with minimal solar power and rainwater catchment, and the nonprofit plans interconnected programs—community gardens, agroforestry and permaculture projects, a resource library for farm tools, seed production, and a future kitchen and communal housing—as it rebuilds infrastructure and support for Puerto Rican producers." - Keia Mastrianni
