Extended farm tours: January - March

Due to the fact that my farm gets too much rain during the summer and fall, I can not give extended farm tours outside the dry season (January through March). Visitors are, however, welcome to shortened tours throughout the entire year. Since the volume of visitors has increased over the years to about 1,000 visitors per year, visitors are not allowed anymore to pick fruit or take seeds with them without my consent.

 

My New Book: Oro Verde - Securing the Furture of Our Food
Gold or money has become the standard benchmark of success in our society. Ironically, the pursuit of this type of temporary wealth has primarily led to the exploitation of humans, animals, plants and natural resources in general.
