THREE SISTERS CROPS
(AGRICULTURE)
The Three Sisters are the three main agricultural crops of various
Native American groups in North America: winter squash, maize (corn),
and climbing beans (typically tepary beans or common beans).
The Iroquois, among others, used these "Three Sisters" as trade goods.

FOUR
SISTERS CROPS
The three sisters…and that fourth sister no one really talks about
This style of planting utilizes three different crops to their full
potential in one space. A circle of interdependence based on giving
and receiving.
The Three Sisters is a combination of three plants working together:
Sister Bean fixes, or makes available in plant form, nitrogen from
the air.
Sister Corn provides the support for Sister Bean’s trailing vine.
Sister Squash provides ground cover to hold moisture and maintain healthy
soil environment as well as deterring animal invaders with its spiny stems.
The fourth sister can be Sister Sunflower or Sister Bee Balm (aka Bergamot,
Horsemint and Oswego Tea). This sister supports the beans, lures birds from
the corn with her seeds and attracts insect pollinators.
