YUNTA: Proximo Paso It was a pleasure once again take part in the growing “Neocriolla” movement, @massa_moc @one.colon.brau @janamelendez @chef.haddock are fostering through their multimedia and multi-sensorial event series. The Yunta series first honors the people, places, and history that are the source of our vital Puerto Rican, cultural and culinary tradition. However, the future they propose places the modern Puerto Rican urbanite as a vital participant and change agent. The “Neocriolla” Yunta proposes builds upon the “Neoruralismo” social & cultural social movement of decades’ past. Neoruralismo emerged as a response to economic crisis, rapid social change, and the effects of food policy in the Caribbean basin— it was as much a rejection of urban life, as a romanticization of returning to nature, traditional agrarian lifestyles & values, self sufficiency, and alternative communities. While at once making a heartfelt case for its preservation, Yunta and it’s Neocriolla ethic appear to be a more self aware of its modern context, than its predecessor was in its time. Its vision, methods and more dynamic ideas around culture and identity set the foundation of a more inclusive movement that our island’s increasingly diverse population can embrace. At Forgotten Forest, we embrace innovation and push the boundaries of what it means to express Puerto Rican terroir, which for us means our “sense of Place”. Brave new thinking is needed to protect what we value most of our past. There will be a few more opportunities to experience Yunta before the end of the year— look out for new dates posted.#forgottenforest #lacordilleradepr #lacordilleradepuertorico #puertoricancoffee #specialtycoffee ** Gracias, Edric Vivoni for introducing me to some of the academic literature on these topics—DM for the links.

it’s been a summer of stillness and humidity. of accepting what is. due to an injury and work challenges, that’s meant this waterfall hike is the only hike I’ve done all summer, and the first time i really got outside since being sidelined with a hip injury at the end of march. It feels fitting that this season of summer storms led me to standing under the rains of a waterfall. and I’m so grateful I got to experience it with an old friend and a new friend, remembering how much I love playing in nature. how healing it is to my body and soul. how much joy there is to be found there. here’s to a fall with more of that joy.

🌿🌍 CELEBRATING PUERTO RICAN COFFEE EXCELLENCE ⛰️🇵🇷☕️👨🏽‍🌾👩🏽‍🌾 Forgotten Forest has just achieved the highest score ever for a Puerto Rican coffee on @coffeereview. Our coffee received an incredible 92 points, showcasing the world-class potential of La Cordillera de Puerto Rico’s terroir, and reflecting the unwavering dedication of our team & extended community. A major goal of FF is to be a catalyst, and derisk the endeavor of pursuing High Value, Low Impact agriculture in Puerto Rico. We are proud to be part of the movement positioning Puerto Rico as a re-emerging specialty origin. We’ll continue shining a light on the incredible flavors and stories that our island has to offer. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us on this journey so far. The harvesting of this record-breaking lot began the day before Hurricane Fiona, and continued with the help of hundreds in the weeks and months after. Your belief in our mission to empower rural Puerto Rican lifestyles has been instrumental in these early victories. Together, we can revitalize the agrarian way of life in Puerto Rico and preserve it for our future generations. To read the full review and taste it for yourself, visit the link in our bio.

DESDE LA CORDILLERA. Adjuntas, Puerto Rico: El Ciudad Del Gigante Dormido. In the town of Adjuntas, the giant looms over the townspeople, like a mythic creature – his body, rising up from the earth, like a towering God. Though a being of immense power, he chose to remain watching over the people, with his wise and discerning eye. The people knew him well. After all, they’d all grown up in his shadow— a shade they knew held the key to the town’s good fortune. Yes, for as long as the eldest relatives’ memories served, the giant protected their land, ensuring it’s delicate coffee plants could thrive, and its people, prosper. Or so, they remembered of the golden times of prosperity. Today, things had changed— many of the young folk, forgot their land, and left their family behind to bask in the bright lights and cobblestone streets of the seaside cities. Those who remained, plundered the land, chasing greater & greater yields. Now, the sun shone down in brutal heat, storms ravaged through unencumbered, and the soil grew dull— the giant no longer stood erect in watch. No, now he appeared to slumber…. TO BE CONTINUED En Adjuntas, el Gigante Dormido domina el pueblo como una deidad vigilante. Con ojo perspicaz, una vez protegió la tierra y sus delicados cafetos, asegurando la prosperidad de la gente. Pero ahora, los jóvenes han olvidado sus raíces y han huido a las brillantes luces de la ciudad mientras otros saquean la tierra en busca de ganancias fugaces. El sol golpea sin piedad, las tormentas rugen sin control y el suelo se vuelve estéril. El Gigante Dormido ya no se mantiene erguido, su mirada una vez vigilante ahora está velada por el sueño, mientras la gente llora la pérdida de su protección y el recuerdo de su prosperidad que se desvanece… #forgottenforest #lacordillerapr #cafe #puertorico #puertoricancoffee #adjuntas
