The Incas really had it going on!!

 In the midst of our planting season we have done a bit of research and we are going to be sharing a three part blog about terracing.  Dr. Jensen was really inspired by the Incas and once you see our property you will see why... like Dr. Jensen these people were able to use the terrain that was presented to them. Living high in the Andes Mountains the Incas were able to create step like terraces into the mountains and grow all sorts of delicious crops. By using the natural formation of the land they were also able to minimize erosion, as well as preserve soil quality.
