You can take the villager out of the village, but you can't take the village out of the villager.

In the middle of the United States, the villager instinct in me went seeking out for my fellow villagers. 

Prof Charles Choti and his wife have brought the village right to the States. I was delighted to visit their AfriThrive Cultural Farm in Poolesville, MD, where they grow African traditional vegetables.

Thousands of Kenyans and other Africans flock to this farm in search of medicinal vegetables grown organically. I am very proud of the Kenyan spirit of thriving anywhere in the world and placing our culture and traditional practices at the global stage. 

I was excited to refresh my memory that the black jack (bidens pilosa), which, while elsewhere believed to be a wild weed, is indeed a delicious and medicinal vegetable. 

My people, Our dear people in the States take advantage of this farm and consume the kunde, murenda, managu, okra, terere, and the black jack grown right here by Prof. Choti. 

Back to the roots.
