CONUCO!

This photo journey takes you from seeding time to the full expression of the Conucos within our gardens.  The magic is in the fertility of the Conuco itself.  The seeds are the biological Ancestral line but the myriad micro-organisms plus the magical ingredients of the brujo allow these seeds to grow and thrive.

Some people call this 'subsistence', we call it thriving!

  1. I can attest to the strong medicine of your tobacco plants from having experienced them through your gift to me a while back. It makes a difference how a thing is grown, and what care is put into it. Sala lembe mpangui!
