The chaya project - Chaya plants for sale

Don and I are very excited because we have decided on a date for our yearly trip to Panajachel, Guatemala, to visit Mayan Families and their projects.  We will leave right after school ends to try to avoid the heavy rains later in the summer.

Our main project is going to be the propagation of the chaya plant.  I am passionate about it!  I have been eating chaya for more than 5 years and I know how beneficial it would be for families to have nutritious and easily grown food.  Last year I gave chaya cuttings to some people and I am hoping they are growing well and I am going to be able to start new plants with some cuttings.  I am hoping to give some other plants to families in Tierra Linda but the main focus is going to be on the chaya plant.  Once established, it produces a lot of food and it can be easily shared with other people.

This little tree is at my sister's home.  I started it 3 years ago and now it can give her many delicious meals for free.

I am selling chaya cuttings in the USA to help me buy more plants in Guatemala.  Please contact me at carmiewest@comcast.net if you would like to buy some cuttings.
