Constanca owns this certified organic farm for 5 years and
practiced on another for 15 years.She is an expert at water flow and her garden patches are built in rows on small mounds where all the excess water flows between perfectly design to drain excess into the river. She uses only this rain water over and over no other water.Cut your grass an leave it to provide nutrient back to the earth.

A woofing organic farm with horses, cows, donkey, and chickens.
Natalia's little house in Tenjo where she will start a garden and harvest bee honey from a hive she moved from her house safely to outside.
Natalia was nice enough to show me around these farms where she gathers vegetables and hand delivers them the same day to people in Bogota through her business Pura Vida Green Store.

She is a symbol of Colombia's rich natural resources and organic produce, However I noticed a lot of people were having trouble finding where to get organic produce in the cit. Her Business helps to support local organic agriculture and preserve Colombia's roots that she feels are becoming lost in new generations.
