If we work with nature, rather than continuing to deplete this essence, we save money, time and effort. This quality informs the design element of our production sites, and the products we manufacture. When we build, we do not cut down trees. Our processing ateliers are designed to take advantage of the surrounding trees, and we plant our crops in clusters. This gives our sites an authentic “spirit of place” which encompasses the tangible and intangible dimensions of the local setting. Our sites and processing ateliers are imbued with meaning, emotion and coherence, in sync with the natural landscape. The air quality is improved, and the people who work there feel great.
