In Mexico, a decade of images shows Mennonites' traditions frozen in time

[admin]

The Mennonite community in Chihuahua, Mexico, can trace its roots as far back as a century ago, when the first such settlers came seeking ideal farming land, isolation from the outside world and the preservation of their religion. The community supports itself through its centuries-old tradition of farming: corn, chili peppers, cotton, onions. From low water reserves due to drought worsened by climate change to the rising cost of diesel to run farming pumps, the community has its own set of challenges as it seeks to thrive and grow.
