Señora Era By Vamigas

In this cozy episode of Señora Era, we explore the quiet rituals that have long defined this season in Latin American households—from canning fruit to dressing well. Fall is more than pumpkin spice; it’s a time of protection, preservation, and deep rest. We reflect on how this mystical season invites us to slow down, soften, and prepare—body, home, and mind —for the colder months after summer. Plus, we share what you, our community, are doing to welcome your own version of a Practical Magic Latina Fall.

Thinking about getting gallinas (chickens)? We had the honor of talking to third gen ranchera/farmer Tori Mellott from Mellott chicken coops, who delivers the strongest, most predator- safe, and beautiful coops all over California. Let's pick her brain about top chicken mistakes, predator problems, and what the most surprising things about chickens are and much more. www.mellottchickencoops.com
