Alkalinity can be helped enormously by eating
organic foods. As the world realizes, this it creates many opportunities
in Ecuador where they have such good soil. This makes growing organically
easier to do. However like here in the Blue Ridge the way one should
not to compete head on with farmers who have thousands of acres
of totally flat fields. Special areas where you can add value make
more sense.
For example, about ten minutes from El Meson de
las Flores a doctor friend of ours is running an organic vineyard.
We have organic wine tastings with each of our groups. He HHHcurrently
produces 10,000 bottles year divided into white, red and rose.
He is going to expand to 40,000 bottles and this presents an opportunity.
However this is not all. The doctor has created
an organic Swiss cheese factory. On our last trip, Merri and I
sat on a broad veranda, looked over lush mountains and enjoy a
glass of wine and some of this delicious cheese that is identical
to Emmenthal. The doctor even brought a Swiss cheese master in
to set up the operation and train the staff. He even built a rock
cave with controlled temperatures for the cheese. We do not drink
alcohol often nor eat a lot of cheese, but that was a rare treat!
