    The group of farmers has joined into an association called:

CORPORACIÓN PARA EL DESARROLLO INTEGRAL DE LA FAMILIA Y LA COMUNIDAD “FALCOM”

 

The group consist of 89 people and 15 families working on 111 hectares of land. The farms are mainly in the department of Caldas -in the municipalities of Villa Maria, Neira, Pensilvania, Aranzazu and Manizales. and in the department of Risaralda - in the municiplaities of Santa Rosa and Dosquebradas.
