Ana-Carla

 ‘Foraging is another form of agriculture

— Ana Carla

Location: Ana’s organic olive farm

Time: 2021 December

 
 
 
 

During the first visit to Ana’s farm, she told us because she does not over intervene the growth of the olive groves, she found more edible herbs growing between the trees.

Such as: Sage, oregano and fennel

On time and calendar

The question before I visit Ana is mostly about the Olive trees cultivation calendar. She generously shared her organic farming calendar. She also mentioned that she followed the pattern of moon phases for other plantations.

A handout from Joao shared another cultural sense of different perspectives on “time” and “Calendar”.
