    *contact host in Spanish

    The ranch that is located in La Caudalosa, a ranch located 40 minutes from Acayucan, has been working on a dream that many believed impossible when the ground (peeled) was acquired in 2003: reforesting, re-greening, filling with fruit trees and Diverse vegetation throughout the area, to attract more moisture, more biodiversity, and therefore more food and abundance for the villagers.
    Nowadays our noble trees give us humidity. Guanabanas, mangos, zapotes, guavas, oranges, lemons, papayas, bananas, etc., give us delicious flavors. Hens, rabbits, cows, bees, cohabit with us harmoniously and contribute much of our food. Extensive beds of biointensive crops shelter fresh vegetables.

    The dream begins to come true, and the family wants to share it. That is why it invites people with goodwill from all over the world to come and join the project with positive actions.

    El rancho que se ubica en La Caudalosa, pueblo ganadero situado a 40 minutos de Acayucan, viene trabajando en un sueño que muchos creyeron imposible cuando el terreno (pelado) fue adquirido en el año 2003 : reforestar, re enverdecer, llenar de arboles frutales y diversa vegetación toda el área, para atraer mas humedad, mas biodiversidad, y por consiguiente mas alimentos y abundancia para los pobladores.
    Hoy en dia , Pinos, jaracarandas, mulatos, cedros, Encinos entre otros nobles arboles nos brindan humedad. Guanabanas, mangos, zapotes, guayabas, naranjas, limones, papayas, plátanos, etc, nos regalan deliciosos sabores. Gallinas, conejos, vacas, abejas, cohabitan armoniosamente con nosotros y aportan gran parte de nuestra alimentación. Extensas camas de cultivos biointensivos albergan hortalizas frescas.

    El sueño comienzo a hacerse realidad, y la familia quiere compartirlo. Por eso invita a personas con buena voluntad de todo el mundo a que vengan a sumarse al proyecto con acciones positivas.
