It’s World Planting Day!

On a farm that has been in Jazmin Micolta’s family for 80 years, 9,000 cocoa trees have been planted. The farm stretches 20.5Ha of land, of which 14Ha are planted with palm. jazmin intercrops with banana and other fruit trees.

Though her farmland became certified organic in 2017, she was already organic by default. A teacher she met advised her to transition to become certified organic.

Jazmin enjoys working with Natural Habitats, initiator of Palm Done Right because of the friendship, technical advice and training, and knowledge transfer.

Say 👋🏼 to Farmer Dora Arellano

Dora is a happy spirited farmer who has taken great pleasure and pride in turning the area around her house into a little Garden of Eden.

In her beautiful garden, Dora nurtures many fruit trees and gorgeous flowers. Dora manages her farm “Predio (Property) Dorita” together with her son and a worker.

Health is the main reason for Dora to farm organically. She is very aware of the damage chemicals cause, affecting personal and soil health. With her son and their worker out in the field every day she feels responsible for their health. It’s very important to her to prevent the use of harmful chemicals.

Dora has been farming organically for many years and has been certified organic for 5 years.

This dish is a healthy, yet powerful dish that’s great to serve for gatherings of people, or just when you’d like to switch it up a bit at home. It may not pack in a lot of calories, but it sure does pack a lot of flavors. Enjoy!

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 60 minutes
Serves 4-8 people

Instructions
Take chicken thighs out and season with salt and pepper.

In a cast iron pot with a heavy lid, heat vegetable oil on high. Once hot, sear chicken thighs until a golden color is achieved, flipping once. Remove chicken from the pot.

Take julienned onion slices and add them to the pot, stirring gently. Add minced garlic. Pour chicken stock and coconut milk into the pot and heat on medium.

While the stock heats, take a skillet or pan and heat on medium high. Add red palm oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, add uncooked jasmine rice and stir for a couple of minutes until it is browned.

When the rice has browned, add the onions and garlic and cook until onions have softened. Add an additional dash of pepper. Add your mixture to the heated broth in your cast iron pan.

Once combined, bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover and cook for 15-25 minutes. Once rice appears to be cooked, remove from heat and allow mixture to sit for an additional 10 minutes. Do not uncover your pan at any point during this process!

Before serving, fluff your rice with a fork and mix in your cilantro and add freshly squeezed lime juice. If you’d like, you can also add a dash of sea salt to your chicken or rice.

And that’s it! You’re done, and your meal is sure to be a hit!

Meet Farmer Marcia Verde Soto 👋🏼

Marcia lives in La Union, Ecuador. Her farm “Santa Rossa 1” is in El Campito, about 30 minutes from her home.

She is a second-generation farmer and inherited her 12 Ha farm from her father. The palm plantation is 15 years old and was established on previous pastureland. She manages the farm with 2 workers.

Marcia has a positive character and likes to travel. She also works as a nutritionist and enjoys working with her clients.

Marcia joined Natural Habitats/Palm Done Right in 2019. Sustainability has always been important to her. That is why she never used chemicals on her farm and protects the soil by using only natural fertilizer.

Transitioning to become organic certified meant better prices and a better income for Marcia.

WHY IS PALM EFFICIENT?

What most consumers don’t realize is that replacing the controversial product with other ingredients, such as soy, doesn’t solve the issue of deforestation but actually worsens it.

Palm oil is the most productive vegetable oil crop and produces at least six times more oil per hectare than its closest rivals, rapeseed, and soy.

Because land is one of the most limited resources on our overcrowded planet, switching to an oil crop that takes up so much more land is likely to cause even greater environmental damage.

$The candle sector heavily relies on paraffin for candle production because of its availability, production compatibility, and low price. Globally, more than 75% of candles are made using paraffin wax. Paraffin is a by-product of the petroleum industry, obtained as a solid residue from the fractional distillation of crude oil. #soycandles #scentedcandles #candleaddict #candlelover #soywax #handpoured #candle #ecoconscious #ecocandles #ecocandles #candlefactory #cleancandle #cleancandles #cleanliving #cleanhome #ecohome #organichome #palmwax #palmwaxcandles #palmcandles #waxcandle #waxcandles #didyouknow #cleanburningcandles #artisancandles #candleobsessed #essentialoilcandles #pillarcandle$
