Water
The roof of the tent has a sediment trap made of fine mesh and a section of pipe, which allows the waste to go to the bottom and the water to be stored cleaner. It is a good model to reproduce this system in homes or schools.
At one end of the ranch we built three “bordos”, large earth cavities located at the bottom of the hill, which are fed by the rainwater that runs down the hillside and allow us to store millions of liters of water, which is pumped to supply the maintenance needs of the chicken farm, the nursery, the organic fertilizer area, the vermicompost and the vegetable garden.
We emphasize that one of the most important activities of the Via Organica project is rainwater harvesting, which allows the ranch to be perceived as a small green mole, an oasis in the dry season and has allowed us to sustain 80% of production with this collection system.

3.- Once dry, place them in a container, add the two eggs and the two tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper to taste and mix everything.
4.- Take a portion of the mixture and form pancakes, fry them in the oil on both sides.
5.- Blend the tomatoes with the piece of onion and the garlic clove, cook the seasoning sauce; Serve the pancakes on a plate, pour the sauce over them and garnish with the sprig of thyme.

Meet Our Producers
“Predio El Cortijo”
This project located in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, has been dedicated for more than 40 years to soil conservation, rescue and conservation of the Mesquite forest and other native species. Directed by Mrs. Virginia, they produce and distribute mesquite flour, jellies, liquors and mesquite firewood with organic management practices.
Every year, they celebrate a milling festival, opening their doors to the public to recover and spread the importance of mesquite consumption.

Inspirations
International Soil Conservation Da
Soil Conservation Day has been celebrated every July 7 since 1963, in memory of Dr. Hugh Hammond Bennet, an American scientist considered a pioneer in this field, who dedicated himself to researching soil quality and its productive capacity, documenting the benefits of soil conservation for the environment. The commemoration seeks to highlight the benefits of sustainable soil management, which if depleted and lost, puts our food and our lives at risk.
We share with you this video about the Ecosystem Restoration Camp that took place in our Agroecological Ranch.
