Byron Coralles, who has won international acclaim for his organic coffee, has been guiding the progress of all the organic systems on the farm. He has initiated an improved cow manure and coffee pulp worm casting production which should really push up our yield in the coming harvests. I call him microbial man. He uses techniques to impart live microbial organisms into the soil. This is the epitome of growing organically. A healthy plant does not need pesticides or herbicides. He has a demonstration garden where he has companion plantings of all kinds of fruits growing together with coffee. .
Byron will be holding permaculture seminars here on the farm to program to educate and promote the practice sustainable organic agriculture when we get the hotel done. We cannot wait.
All the buildings on the farm have now been re roofed and remodeled. The hotel is coming along and we anticipate having ten double rooms available in the spring so that our buyers friends and guests can stay on the farm and enjoy boating, bird-watching, horseback riding and all the other activities on the farm.
The few hacienda offerings we have are not going to last, so, come on up and see us. It is absolutely gorgeous
