Description
Raíces Cultural Center’s January 2018 visit to Finca Mi Casa was a true lesson in resiliency and hospitality. In the face of Hurricane Maria and the difficult relief and recovery period that continues to this day, Don Luis Soto of Finca Mi Casa (left) illustrates a prime example of the strength ancestral, organic and ecological methods of farming. Just over three months past the storm and the farm was back in production with a variety of food crops ready for harvest and a seed stock that was on the rebound. While still recovering themselves, Don Luis and his wife Doña Carmen took us in with great hospitality, as they always do. Raíces chose Don Luis and Finca Mi Casa to receive repair support for the greenhouse shown in this photograph from our PR Sustainable Disaster Relief Fund due to the importance of Don Luis and his farm to the small scale, organic agriculture movement in Puerto Rico, serving as a demonstration site as well as working farm and educational center.
