Cut Flowers - The flower business section of the farm started with potted plants used for decoration at the hotel, and then increased into local sales. Cut flowers were our next step, used for the hotel rooms and in the cabins. Mums were planted in the field, later came the greenhouse which started the local business which has its ups and downs, but is very rewarding to see plants grow. We are trying to make this part of the farm also organic, but it is much harder. So far we have used only organic fertilizer, but sometimes there is a plague, which we cannot control with all our organic products, so use chemical. We are looking forward to technical assistance from organic places to have organic control here as well. If you have any information to help us, please contact us.

Potted Plants -  Potted plants are sold at a greenhouse close by the hotel and now also in Managua at a satellite location called, "Toque de Selva Negra" translates into "A Touch of Selva Negra". The potted plants serve as decoration and attraction for the hotel guests who have the opportunity to wonder about and see the work we have done. We use also produce organic soil at the farm.
