Description
We are farmers in the Center West of Colombia, situated in San Antonio del Chami, which is about a 4 hour drive from Salento, and close to Mistrato. San Antonio del Chami is part of the department of Isaralda near Pereira, Jardin Antioquia, bordering with the department of Choco.
Our farm is a big land with a lot of houses, forest and rivers. We are planting typical local trees and growing organic food. Our houses are built with bamboo and wood from the natural rain forest in the San Juan canyon, about 30 minutes from San Antonio del Chami. Our project is family-run with the help of local workers. Our community produces happy milk, sugar cane, coffee, while applying the ecological concepts,Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
