New Year, New Project

We're all getting very excited for our next brigade. We leave tomorrow morning for Panama City, and then will be transported to the community of Rincon Claro on Tuesday. This year, UT Austin is working with a group of 6 farms to help market their agricultural projects to hotels. We'll first be working to sell their products to the Bristol Buenaventura, a gorgeous resort on the Pacific Coast. This process is intended to create a marketing model for future sales, as well as other farms in the area. We emphasize professionalism, local products, and organic farming. Stay tuned for stories about our adventure. It's sure to be a good one!

  1. Good luck guys! I'll be thinking of you in warm, warm Panama. Rincon is a beautiful area. I always left with way too much artisean jewelery. Take lot's of pictures. I want to see everything.

    PS. I'm the Peace Corps Volunteer that worked with you guys in El Valle de Madrono.
