I subscribed for recipes. How wonderful to find so much more! Hailing from Southern Cal, I always thought I would retire in Mexico. I love everything about it. That has not panned out as I planned. These videos are a delight to see. Thankyou for them and for a wonderful product that goes so much deeper than just selling masa harina.

How much of the sale price are the artisans getting?

[@Masienda]

Hi there! La Chicharra sets their own prices with us - it's a mutually beneficial relationship that we value greatly.

Love everything about this except the workers who are making the clay need real respirators not those cheap mask.
They're going to get silicouses. It's the least yall can do given how much money yall are making.
