Potatoes on the road … 

.. 400 km, some days on the back of donkeys these organically grown seed potatoes were brought to Samagaun Gorkha, in the west of Nepal. Here the climate is similar to Solukhumbu and there is also a lot of enthusiasm for organically grown produce.

It is especially great when women in Solu now send their seed potatoes to women in Gorkha to support organic farming there. We wish good thriving and are happy.

Many thanks to the Sagarmatha Milijuli Mahila Cooperative for the good work and Fair Styria as well as Land Vorarlberg for supporting the projects in Chyangsar and Ghunsa.

Special thanks also to the cooperation partners in Gorkha Tergar Charity Nepal, Jhigme Lama

.. and transported to the destination with mules
.. the potatoes have arrived in Gorka after the long journey
