Nourish goes to Honduras

Yesterday we set off towards a community called la Fortuna at the early hour of 5am.  After about a 3 hour ride through central Honduras, we finally arrived in a small town nestled in the middle of some of the most beautiful mountains and rolling plains I´ve ever seen.  After a quick breakfast, we hiked a short way over some of the aforementioned beautiful plains (seriously, they were gorgeous) to a large greenhouse.  We took some measurements to help with planning for future greenhouses and learned a bit about the different techniques they´ve developed to increase productivity while remaining entirely organic.  For example, they´ve developed a mixture of sugar cane and fish (a little fuzzy on the details) which has proven extremely effective at detering insects and other pests from feasting on their crops.  We spent most of the rest of the day checking out a few other greenhouses in the area and hanging out with the local youth CIAL.  All in all it was a great day filled with bouncy car rides, beautiful landscapes, and many a discussion on the finer points of greenhouse construction.  We´re still a little behind on sleep, and have some serious dancing to do tomorrow morning, so we´re off!
