These Pics are from our farm visit on the last day of November 2012. Was a mix of sun and shade coming off a night of heavy rain. Exploring the farm and its biodiversity and with the farm manager Viktor was quite the pleasure. He is a bundle of knowledge and the farm has distinct “barrios” that gives it a unique feel. It has a surprisingly good start to becoming a food forest. Next is more nitrogen fixers, guilds, and the lower layers as well as increasing the intensive garden production. Looking forward to our course in 13 days!!!!!! http://treeyopermaculture.com/future-courses/taino-farm-intro/
