Eco - Partners

Llama Deara Ranch is seeking eco-partners to share in the realization of its goals. The phased-in programs are described in the LDR project statement. Currently the ranch is on target for the scheduled milestones. As part of the reorganization and brainstorming sessions, potential partners can work with the Director to modify the existing project statement to reflect a new unified plan.

Well located close to Los Alamos, Taos, and Santa Fe, this property is suited for a Bed and Breakfast, a retreat center, community living, and more, having four fully independent living residences, all with kitchen, bath, and laundry facilities.

The property is also conducive to agriculture-based businesses, being blessed with fertile soil, water rights, a water harvesting system of collection tanks and a river canal that runs close to the owner's casita. A network of pumps, gates, and plumbing deliver water throughout the property, in the domestic gardens, apple grove, and pastures.

The Director will work with potential partners on environmentally sound and ecologically balanced programs and projects that support the community, the land, and wildlife.

Interns

The Director also seeks committed and creative interns for the development of and participation in programs in these areas:

1. Cottage industries to sustain the ranch; planned businesses will focus on:
   • using llama wool to create felt products (art objects and clothes) to be marketed locally and eventually around the world.
   • using permaculture practices to create black gold soil amendments from llama beans.
2. Workshops for children, adolescents, and families that build social-emotional skills, self-esteem, empathy, and intimacy.

At this time, the Director wishes to recognize especially Richard Voss, Ph.D, and Cecilia Ramos.
