Farm Life
Learn how West Camp Nopal was born. What are the challenges? What does the future look like?
Veronica
Hello again! My name is Veronica, and West Camp Nopal is my brain child. What originally started as a side project quickly blossomed into an actual farm. Growing up in the country gave me the confidence to pursue this venture, but having spent more than half my life in the city made me realize I have a lot to learn! Every aspect of this adventure has been a learning experience and an exciting journey!
Fortunately the nopal is a very low maintenance plant but being the first to build a farm in an area where it has never been done is interesting. Join me on this blog to learn how it all began, challenges, ideas and daily life on the farm.
