Introduction to the 3 sisters companion system for vegetable growing

The Three Sisters companion planting system is a time-honoured agricultural method used by Indigenous peoples of the Americas for centuries. This sustainable approach to vegetable growing brings together three staple crops—corn, beans, and squash—in a harmonious and mutually beneficial planting arrangement that maximizes yields and promotes healthy soil.

This method exemplifies sustainable agriculture practices, promoting biodiversity and reducing the need for external inputs. It can be used in very small spaces or large production sites.
