Nelson, who has been farming since he graduated from college in 1984, is the co-founder and elected president of the 68-member Organic Producer’s Association of Cauca. At each event, Nelson and Liliana will give a presentation and lead a discussion about their life as farmers, organic agriculture, La Golondrina, microlots, and more!
