MACADAMIA: A BETTER LIFE
Oscar Cruz
” I am a rancher by vocation, that is, I have the spirit of a rancher but over time my vision has been towards the Macadamia because we live in a very mountainous area and here there is a lot of deforestation and through the Macadamia we are reforesting and I think it will be a future for generations to come.”
Joseph Tavarez
I have 7 years , I have about 740 plants, we already have plants in production, I started with 100 plants.
This is a heritage for the family not only for oneself but for different generations. When they come here they know and become familiar with the product and with all the benefits it offers us, they get motivated and take away a good amount of Macadamia.
Mirtha Bueno
In 2012 or 2013, I was one of the first people to buy macadamia bushes, so we bought 200 bushes and the bushes are eight to nine years old and we have been delivering nuts for a long time.
We have 197 trees in production. And now they are full of nuts.
