We spend time on a small organic farm and get to know the people of this very special place. The local economy is supported by agriculture and small family run businesses such as shoemakers and bakers. The locals say anything you plant, grows. They are warm and friendly people who work hard and live long. We discovered a road blockade near our farm and on investigating discovered all was not as tranquil as it seemed. A large mining operation was setting up in the nearby mountains, threatening a way of life that spans hundreds of years.
