Introduction
The Organic farm is located in a valley on the mid coast of Ecuador. There is a lot of experience in organic farming in the mountains and in temperate climates in general, but there is little on the coast. The farm now has an important role in demonstrating alternatives like biogas, solar power, composting systems, worm culture, water recycling, reforestation and forage systems, permaculture, organic farming techniques and environmental tourism. Tourism and education are other aspects of the farm.
