In 2006, I had the opportunity to live in Ecuador and teamed up with the South American Explorer’s Club and WOOF (world-wide opportunities on organic farms) to produce a series of 7 videos to promote these farms to volunteers.

Tamia Yura is in organic farm near Tena, Ecuador in the Amazon Rainforest. This indigenous family specializes in medicinal plants and has a long history cultivating various species of plants.
