Steppe (pronounced "Step") is a native grassland in Ukraine that serves as a natural biome for flora, fauna, and fungi.  Its rich, dark black soil also provides an ideal environment for agriculture and is a common Ukrainian symbol of fertility and wisdom. Our name is rooted in our vision of providing folk dance "steps" and sharing traditional foodways that enrich our Santa Cruz, California, community and help to protect Ukraine's vast and beautiful culture.
