In San Miguel it is becoming more common for the local inhabitants to have green roofs where they grow vegetables and small fruit trees for their own consumption and to exchange with friends, giving the activity a sustainable basis. How can this be done? It is not complicated. It is very easy to find sources of information and training on this subject. One option is Via Organica, a Mexican non-profit organization dedicated to promoting good nutrition through organic agriculture, fair trade, a healthy life style, and the protection of the planet. Through this organization, located in the Landeta Park Municipal Plant Nursery of this municipality in the state of Guanajuato, a space for small-scale organic farming was created, where different planting and cultivation techniques are being developed with the aim of training those who wish to start a vegetable garden in their own home.

Through various methods of composting, irrigation techniques and protection of the environment, it provides everything you need to start your own food source, free of chemicals and fertilizers. If you cannot have a vegetable garden at home, in your neighborhood store you will find all kinds of produce grown in their vegetable garden and some imported products: fresh vegetables and fruits, beans, grains, meat and eggs,; gluten free products; bread, cookies and desserts; wines and beers; non-toxic cleaning products, and much more. Also available in the store, is a library with all the necessary information to get you started with your own space for growing vegetables. Most of these books have been donated by members of the Organic Consumer Association, whose information has been very useful in the region where it is increasingly common to see in the homes of the local inhabitants, products which are used directly for the vegetable garden to the plate.

Since 2010, every Saturday, an Organic Tianguis (open air market) is set up in the Juarez Park, right in the heart of San Miguel de Allende. Here, in a cloud of delicious aromas, colors and textures, farmers come to sell their crops, as well as other products of an organic nature, such as bread, cheeses, chocolates, honey, preserves, hand-made tortillas, coffee, etc.
