The current selection is from the La Banda Rebelde association in Huila, Colombia, who are so named for their rejection of high yield chemical intensive agriculture, preferring the use of organic, homebrewed fertilizers and maintaining long term soil health. They see the care for the ecology of their farms as a long term investment, and hand in hand with their community solidarity.

Huila, Colombia

Each member of this little rebel group practices their own form of ecological agriculture, roving from farm to farm as a team and applying their homemade preps, including
Super Magro. Starting with a base micro- organism population using a few kilos of virgin soil from native oak forest, they add micro nutrients, molasses and animal products (manure, bone ash) and let this ferment for up to several months and use it as the base for other fermented and enriched products: foliar sprays to protect against leaf rust, foliar fertilizer, and using it on coffee pulp to decompose faster to have actual live compost to work with. They are all working towards a style of agriculture that doesn’t require chemical inputs, as they build and tend to microbial populations in their soils.
