Ixim means corn in many Mayan languages. Originally a grass, teosintle, with careful tending became an abundant staple for indigenous people of the Americas, from Turtle Island to Abya Yala, the indigenous names for North America & South America, respectively.)
Corn is under attack by corporations who wish to patent its seeds. We stand for human rights to healthy food and source fresh ingredients from local farmers, buy organic, free trade & non GMO, & ethically forage a variety of wild food ourselves.
We also believe in indigenous food sovereignty and support indigenous-run enterprises that keep ancient traditions alive and benefit indigenous communities.
Beginning this fall, in honour of the honourable harvest philosphy written beautifully by Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ixim will be donating a portion of our profits towards local environmental and cultural reconcilation initiatives.
