We bring theatrical art to our workers, through plays where we invite local artists and volunteer performers. All our works contain positive messages of improvement and life lessons. In these works participate: actors, comedians, dancers, musicians, and singers.
In the same way we take the art of cinema with films that leave a good message of self-improvement and self-help. People are entertained, have fun and also continue to learn and empower.

Planet
We take care of our planet and our community wellbeing thru the following means:
We are truly committed on farming in sustainable ways based on an understanding of ecosystem services, the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. We want to take care of our soil now and for our future generations. This is actually what matters most as a socially responsible farmer.
The mission of A “BIO-FACTORY” it is to the development of agricultural bio-production, articulating the work of bio-scientific bio-research with bio-production, in a market, ecological and social responsibility perspective.
This is what we call truly sustainable farm, not just organic. We are able to produce organically more than 100 products such as : fermentations, repellents, insecticides, bio-fertilizers, microrganisms, beneficial fungus and bacteriums.
We make our own compost made from chicken manure and worm. All the waste (lag) of fruit, it is used as raw material and it is mixed with the compost as carbon source as well as our pecan tronks from our pruning. We also use recycled carton for our composting.
Lacewings live naturally in our farm. We have created a perfect fit habitat in order to maintain high dense population and reduce the use of insecticides.
Our packing facility it is operated with solar panels, and we are increasing our capacity every 2 years, so we can have the entire farm with solar power operated.
We are able to apply what the soil and plant needs only. Usually, most farms apply more than needed, basically because it is challenging to diagnose what is exactly the plague or disease. Sometimes, unknown diseases or plague appears and there is not a specific product you can use or that you will be 100% sure it will work until you try it. We can avoid this, by testing first in small scale in our lab. This makes us difference among any other traditional farming practices.
Based on all the programs and activities we do for the people and our community, we created our own Foundation to replicate our system to the closest town Poblano Miguel Aleman, so we can contribute with welfare and education of this community. Our vision it is to replicate all over our state of Sonora then in Mexico.
We want to create sustainable well-being to our people by providing tools that will guide them to a better future, taking better decisions for their life.
Our three principles help us in creating added value for our customers.
