La granja un lugar donde volvería sin pensarlo, dónde se vive el día a día del autentico campo Colombiano y dónde aprendes acerca del café, animales, construcción y la cultura local de este rinconcito de Colombia. Lugar Dónde te sientes bien recibido y arropado desde el primer momento por todos los miembros de la familia (Angela, Alberto, Princesa, Otilia y Niño). En la granja hay 3 cosas que nunca van a faltar y eso son actividades, comida y muchas risas, aquí el tiempo pasa volando. Contento por haber podido aportar mi granito de arena a su causa.

Estar en la granja ha sido una experiencia maravillosa! He aprendido del café, de las sabrosas frutas y del cultivo local. Los animales de la casa son hermosos y es un placer cuidarlos. La Merced es un pueblo pequeño pero que te llena de ternura el corazón con sus autenticos personajes. En la granja he podido acercarme al conocimiento local a través de la plantas, los animales y sobretodo las personas. Angela, Beto, Princesa y Otilia han sido una familia para mi en estas dos semanas. He sentido la calidez de un hogar, el amor de una familia y las risas que se comparten en una buena amistad!!

Que decir, la armonía y calidad humana con la que te arropan Angela y Beto, hacen que te sientas como en casa, agradecida por cada muestra de interés, ilusión y ganas con las que compartías, la gastronomía, y conocimientos del entorno. Contenta de poder ser parte de la semilla para este inicio de proyecto. Recordaré siempre La Merced como un pueblo alegre, lleno de vida en sus calles y en un entorno que ll convierte increíble, los ricos helados de frutas, a Princesa, Gatis, Niño, Otilia y por supuesto a Don Alfredo. Gracias por todo 💜
