Sometimes the downtime we share are the best moments. So much hard work goes into managing our timber, bamboo and food/ medicine crop plantings, it is nice to sit back and enjoy the friendships between our teammates. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #agroecologia #agroecology #bamboohouse #casadebambu #chone #manabi #ecuadorisallyouneed #paisajesecuador #ecuador

Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice from Los Arboleros Farm!!

This bamboo was 8 inches tall in January of 2018. Now it is passing 15 feet! Despite growing in a former cow pasture in degraded, compacted, heavy clay soils, this guadua bamboo is reaching for the sky. We expect it to have 60-foot tall poles within 4 more years. • • #guadua #bamboo #regenerativeagriculture #agroforestry #buildsoil #buildhabitat #naturalbuilding #growyourownhouse

Irrigation install on our 5 acres of Moringa 💦🌱 We worked with our farm staff and interns from ULEAM Chone university. Students were a great help and a great learning opportunity! ✅‼️ • • #allorganic connected with #ecosystem #corridors @ecuamoringa #chone #agroecologia #agroecology

Our turmeric harvest!! For nearly two years we have been growing rounds of turmeric for our own seed stock. We aim to produce medicinal grade beyond organic turmeric on the level of 3-6 ton harvests within 2 more years. We are currently harvesting around 1.5 kg per plant. • #medicinalfoods #turmeric #growsgreat #delicious #organicproducts #compost #greatsoil grows #greatfood #agroecologia #agroecology

Para todos quienes nos lo han preguntado! 🔎🌱 . El guandul, frijol de palo, frejol de palo es una leguminosa arbustiva de hojas alternadas trifolioladas. 🍃 . Se discute sobre si su origen es África o la India🤷🏽‍♀️, pero se cultiva hace por lo menos 3 mil años. Además de ser una planta que tiene capacidad de fijar una elevada cantidad de nitrógeno en el suelo, también su raíz penetrante es bastante útil para descompactar los suelos. Asimismo, sus semillas son utilizadas en la alimentación humana y las hojas como forraje para la alimentación animal. Su fruto es de buen sabor y contiene en promedio de 18% a 25% de proteínas, pudiendo llegar hasta un 32%. Por estas razones, se considera una fuente de proteína vegetal de buena calidad y a la vez económica para el consumidor. . Nitrogen is one of the most important elements in our farm system. It makes all the plants grow strong and healthy and the essential ingredient of our chop n drop mulching system. We capture nitrogen from the air by special nitrogen fixing plants which are then used by our food forest to grow our food. • • #rhizobium #gandul #guandul #frijoldepalo #frejoldepalo #Vidaverde #Orgánico #sustentabilidad #permacultura #huerto #terraces #agroecology #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #diversifiedfarming #syntropicfarming #nitrogen #pidgeonpea

Terraces below our house🎍🏡. From the bottom up we have rows of: vetiver🌾, turmeric, then more turmeric🌱, then yucca mixed with gandul beans and guadua bamboo🎋, and finally banana 🍌 to give shade to the house. . With time the bamboo 🎋will outgrow the yucca, bananas and everything else to give a beautiful shade and view for the house🙌🏽💦🌞✨ • • #vetiver #turmeric #cúrcuma #yuca #losarbolerosfarm #regeneration #erosioncontrol #soilbuilding #soilconservation #waterconservation #project #regenerationfieldinstitute #permaculture #regenerativefarming #Chone #manabi #choneresurgeporti #ecuador🇪🇨

Two years after our first visit to this farm, we keep working hard every day with our team to make Los Arboleros a productive and beautiful example of social and environmental regeneration. Welcome to visit us!🇪🇨🎋🌻✨ . Come learn from this land, come be as inspired by the bamboo🎍, the toucans🐧, the monkeys🐒, the trees 🌳and the sunsets 🌄 as we are. • #bambooarchitecture #ecuador🇪🇨 #cañaguadua #agroecology #agroforestry #naturalbuilding #bamboohouse #sustainability #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativedesign #greentechnology #ecocouple #livinggreen #alternativebuilding #innovation #entrepreneurship #ecologicalrestoration #ecosystemhealth

We believe in regenerative agriculture, architecture, and engineering.👩🏻‍🔬🌿👨🏼‍🌾 We value local partnerships with universities and the municipality of Chone, Ecuador 🇪🇨to help us learn about our region’s ecology, economy, and culture.

Four terraces spanning the steep hillside above the house/Institute completed as one of our big summer projects!💪🏽✅These terraces will work to slow, spread, and sink water and sediment transport originating from the highest point on the farm, and over 100 university students from the US, Ecuador, India, Singapore, China, and Russia helped contribute building them throughout the summer. Excited to have planted yuca de ratón, yucca, pigeon pea, and vetiver grass, and next season hopefully more diverse crops and fruit trees!🌳💧🏡🌾🌎👩🏽‍🌾 #terrace #terracing #terracefarming #earthworks #movingmountains #permaculturedesign #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativedesign #permaculture #regeneration #womenwhofarm #womenfarmers #youthfarmers #soilconservation #waterconservation #naturalbuilding #waterinfrastructure #topsoil #waterretention

Building key point pond and overflow trenches with living plant walls that will add strength with deep roots and interweaving branching systems to reverse erosion in gullies like this on the farm!
