Passing Down Healthy Traditions

Manfredo (from rural Bolivia), and his wife Karin (who grew up on a homestead farm in Michigan), along with their two children, have been living in Dove Springs for just a few years. They are growing a backyard vegetable garden with green beans, lettuce, corn, strawberries and cooking herbs.

“With the money you spend on fast food, you can buy the basics at the supermarket,” says Manfredo. “I am showing my kids the flavors of my home country. They like all kinds of vegetables, and they’re starting to help us cook meals. To make a positive change in our community, we need to set a good example for our children.”
