Travel with us high into the mountains of southwestern Mexico, as we search for a quality source of veganic sesame seeds for our Sesame Sunflower bread.

After landing in the capital of the state of Oaxaca, we began a three and a half hour climb skyward on a tightly coiled mountain highway that led us to Colonia San Jose, where farmer Gerardo Pacheco Rodriguez waited to greet us with a smile, a joke and some memorable hospitality. Gerardo manages an agricultural cooperative that grows the best sesame seeds we've ever tasted, using techniques and traditions deeply rooted in a respect for history and community.
