MAPP Oral History Collection - Our growing archive of multilingual interviews with North Texas community members involved in food and agriculture preserves valuable knowledge about regional foodways while identifying community needs and interests. These recorded conversations capture the voices of local farmers, gardeners, chefs, food entrepreneurs, and community advocates who are shaping our regional food system. Through these interviews, we document traditional agricultural practices, explore changing relationships with land and food, and highlight innovative approaches to sustainable food production in North Texas. The collection serves as both a historical repository and a living resource for researchers, students, and community members interested in the rich tapestry of agricultural knowledge in our region.

🌱 Our Gardens

Where our roots run deep. Each member nurtures a space that reflects their connection to land, culture, and community.

Basmah's Garden

A mix of young trees and rooted traditions, this garden includes a fig cutting and a sapling just beginning to take shape.

This pepper plant thrives in the summer heat—bearing both green and ripening red fruits in a well-loved bed.

With rows of cucumbers, tomatoes, and mango seedlings, this space is a living archive of resilience and flavor.
