Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians members are the descendants of Captain Vee Vee Augustine, who was born in 1820. One of the surviving villages of 22 Cahuilla Villages recorded in the mid-1800s, the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians operates Temalpakh Farm, where guests can shop for organic produce and enjoy the new smoothie bar at Temalpakh Farm and Market. Temalpakh is Cahuilla for “from the Earth,” and helps provide the Coachella Valley with fresh, sustainable vegetables and fruits. Stop by to tour the farming operation and grab a Berri Crunch (blueberries, strawberries, bananas and oats), Palm Tree Brew (unsweetened almond milk, dates, mesquite powder and bananas) and other smoothies made with produce grown on site.
