J & D Burges
a husband-and-wife writing team
Having lived for many years on the edge of the Navajo Nation, they write with cheerful authority about open spaces, big lakes, and the unique mix of cultures captured in their Naomi Manymules stories.
Their mysteries are now hatched in a cottage in the woods near a lake. Really! It’s a great place to plot light-hearted homicides. When they’re not doing that or working out, they might be dancing. There’s also some knitting and woodworking going on.
They can’t resist interfering in each other’s work. It’s often hard for them to remember which story idea originated where and whose words made it into the final draft. Each of them claims that the best lines belong to the other.
“The two of them stood there gawking at me, and I could see myself running naked hrough their imaginations. Good lord."
— Naomi Manymules, Coyote Alibi

With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
Get Involved
If you live near one of our gardens, get involved to receive portions of each harvest. We accept volunteers regardless of skill level. There is a rotation in roles, but we’ll teach you all the skills you need to know. Teenagers 14 years and older can earn community service credits for school in addition to getting produce for their families. Donations are also vital to our growth, as we use them for seed, fertilizer, tools, and outreach.
