    Description

    I am Silvia my partner Gustavo and our fruit Jorgelina. For 10 years we have changed our lifestyle, we live in the mountains of Catamarca. Small mountain town where vegetation and loose animals abound, the crystalline river zigzags through the mountains and the town, accompanied by willows on its banks. Mild temperatures, during the day they are very pleasant and cool at night. The mountain that surrounds us gives us loads of energy that make us want to enter and be part of it, where there are cave paintings that are estimated to be from various periods, some of them more than 4000 years old, and Jesuit ruins from the early 1600s, accompanying it has remarkable rock formations from the Precambrian era. Within this beauty we are building in superadobe, in harmony with the place, setting up planting terraces and chicken pens. We use all the food that the land provides us, making preserves, sweets and flour, obtaining our organic food.

    Soy Silvia mi compañero Gustavo y nuestro fruto Jorgelina. Desde hace 10 años cambiamos nuestro estilo de vida, vivimos en el monte catamarqueño. Pequeño pueblo de montaña donde lo que abunda es la vegetación y animales sueltos, el rio cristalino zigzaguea por las montañas y el pueblo, acompañado por sauces en sus orillas. Temperaturas templadas, durante el día las mismas son muy agradables y sus noches frescas. El monte que nos rodea da unas cargas de energía que dan ganas de ingresar y ser parte del mismo, donde se encuentran pinturas rupestres que se calcula que son de varios periodos algunas de mas de 4000 años y ruinas Jesuíticas de principios del 1600, acompañando ésta con formaciones rocosas notables de la era precámbrica. Dentro de esta belleza estamos construyendo en superadobe, en armonía con el lugar, armando terrazas de siembra, armado de pileta para reserva de agua y corral de gallinas. Utilizamos todos los alimentos que nos provee la tierra elaborando conservas, dulces y harinas, obteniendo nuestros alimentos orgánicos.
