This group of smallholders lives in and around the small municipality of La Union in Nariño. FUDAM's membership believes firmly in the principles of sustainability that drove them to band together in the first place. When asked recently why the group continues to farm organically despite mounting pressure to rely on chemical inputs, the association’s leadership explained, “This is just how we live, these are our values and our way of life.”   Free shipping for U.S. orders over $45
