    Description

    Hello, I am sadhu, an agroecological peasant producer from Subachoque, Cundinamarca, a beautiful agricultural region, with green landscapes and beautiful ecosystems such as the paramo and cloud forests. On my farm we are dedicated to the organic and sustainable production of fruits and vegetables. We make artisanal cheeses and yogurts, we produce Orellana mushrooms and cherry tomatoes. My parents and my brother live in my home, my mother cooks with a lot of love, making delicious dishes and my father will tell you crazy stories about his life. I am part of a peasant association of agroecological producers, we can visit their orchards and get to know them.
