The Navajo farmer taking a traditional approach to making baby food

Zachariah and Mary Ben were struck by the lack of of fresh and local foods near them, so they began growing their own crops

There's a paleontological site in the center of Zachariah and Mary Ben's family farm plot. Or, at least there is if you're their two-year-old son, Yabiitoh. Neon-colored pterodactyl and stegosaurus toys lay strewn about between freshly sprouted Hopi red dye amaranth and Navajo white corn. As the Bens plunge corn jabbers - a hand-held farming tool - loaded with Oaxacan green corn seeds into the New Mexico soil, Yabiitoh ditches the dinosaurs and races across the farm lot.

Just a few miles north of Shiprock, New Mexico, on land long stewarded by the Navajo (or Dine) people in the fertile valley of the San Juan River, Zach and Mary tend the land where they grow produce for their baby food company, Bidii Baby Foods.
