MEET THE MACA FARMERS

Florencio and Yraida are maca experts who specialize in the cultivation and production of premium Maca following ancient ancestral organic farming techniques. Their farm and farming techniques focus on the preservation of ancient spiritual practices and respecting the energetics of la Maca, Pachamama (mother earth), and her environment. Every batch they produce is made with love, passion, care, and intention to help and heal. They are some of only a few traditional farmers left in Peru who keep their ancient traditions surrounding Maca and produce in artisanal ways.

For both Florencio and Yraida, Maca is a way of life, a spiritual connection to Pachamama, and to their roots as Incan descendants. They work incredibly hard to produce their amazing crops, and their attention to detail is second to none. We are blessed to have them as part of our team at Seleno Health and to be able to assist them in sharing their medicine with the rest of the world.

As a family, they spend a lot of time assisting their local community to improve the way of life for all others in their village. They are also an integral part of our social responsibility program and help allocate funds and identify local needs for development.
