Living Ground hasn't added a story.
The project site is a one hectare
property with 1000 m2 of building infrastructure. This property was
built to house workers during the construction of the North/South
highway connection in Ecuador.
The property has been for sale for some time. Recently the
owner informed us that a gasoline company is interested in the site.
This stepped our team, The Soil
Squad, into high gear.
LITTLE MICROBES VS CHEMICAL CORP
Step one is to acquire and secure the property. This will be the
center for all things microbes for Ecuador (laboratory, microbe
production, consultancy, market cooperative, market store, restaurant,
tourism, apprenticeships, health spa).
If any investors are interested in acquiring this property on our
behalf, we are open to discussion and open to sharing the costs,
budgets, plans.
Helping us acquire this property is an investment in a solid and grounded solution to many of problems we face together.
The SOILution
Plant and Human Health
Regeneration of Soils & Microbes
It is vitally important we make a transition to regenerate our soils which is a primary basis of all life and health. We have a solution, empowering the individual to understand health of the planet and our species begins with health of the soil.
We have a solid plan - raise the good guys (the good bacterias and fungi), and the bad guys (pathogens) go away. Our mission is to produce massive amounts of Microbe Rich Compost, teach, educate, assist, and inspire conversion to regenerative agriculture locally. We want to share the work of the Soil Food Web across Ecuador and with anyone desiring to learn more about the science and the art of microbes.
Problem #1
SOILS all over the world are currently DIRT. They are losing
microbe life and the foods we eat have little to no nutrition as a
result. Without "good guy" microbes, soil, plants, and
humans are unhealthy.
IT IS TIME TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR
SOILS which is intricately entwined with HUMAN HEALTH
Problem #2
Our envisioned Project Site is currently being prospected by a
gasoline corporation.
This is a classic story of:
Little Microbe vs Big Chemical Corp.
The time to act is NOW!
This project site would become the center of operations for
Living Ground. If the Little Microbe loses, we are still moving
forward with the plan and project.
We need your support!
SOILution
Living Ground ~ Suelo Vivo has already been hard at work creating the solution. We are producing massive amounts of Microbe Rich compost. We are offering Microscope Soil Tests and providing Consults to land owners locally.
Our further mission is to share, teach and educate, assist, convert and inspire regenerative cultivation everywhere and with everyone. TheLiving Ground team wants to share our knowledge and services far and wide. We have an opportunity to make a greater impact by acquiring a centrally located property for our headquarters of operations which will be home to the Living Ground PODS (see tab above)
Our Needs
The Project Site (amazing potential for the operations)
- One hectare with a large 1000m2 structure.
- The infrastructure on this property was built to house workers when they were building the National North/South Highway.
- The property purchase price is $110,000.
We are willing to collaborate just like the microbes. We are open to investor discussions! If we do not meet this goal, all donations will still be allocated the Living Ground Project and we are happy to share the accounting, business plan, costing sheets.
Everyone who contributes $500 or more will receive a special invitation to a Thank YOU Gala Event & Dinner to be held in Vilcabamba on January 26th. This date marks the second anniversary when this project was set into action! See "Perks" Tab above!
We invite everyone to join us to raise this mission, spread it far and wide, and be a part of the solution (soilution). We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and care. You are not just helping us...you are helping the microbes, the soils, plants, and humankind enter a new way of living and life! Let’s come together to heal the soil that sustains us!
BACK STORY:
One year ago, I, Leisha, went to view the
property. Let's go back six months prior. When my late partner
was close to passing, he told me he would appear to me in
hummingbirds. The day I went to this site, 100s if not 1000s of
hummingbirds appeared. At this time, I saw the vision of the
Living Ground Project yet the enormity of the work was
overwhelming. Where was the compost..the microbes, the team, the
plan. Over the last year, the microbes, the team and the plan have
come into our reality. NOW IS THE TIME!

- One hectare with a large 1000m2 structure.
- The infrastructure on this property was built to house workers when they were building the National North/South Highway.
- The property purchase price is $110,000.
To purchase and renovate we require a total of $345,000. $235,000 is for the total renovation and infrastructure operations cost. We are happy and willing to share the Budget Costs and Business Model with anyone interested. Please contact us! We are willing to collaborate just like the microbes. We are open to investor discussions! If we do not meet this goal, all donations will still be allocated the Living Ground Project and we are happy to share the accounting, business plan, costing sheets.

GIFT: For all supporters, we offer a Micobe 101 manual.
It will be sent to your email after your contribution! It is our
way of saying "thank you"
Disclaimer: This project is in steps. Step One is the
acquire the land for this project. Step Two is to renovate.
Step Three is for the infrastructure to raise the PODs and POD
leaders. If we do not raise what is required, we will either
give back...or continue with another option. We will communicate
with all who supported.
The dream still is alive even if we can not get the
property. I am very willing to open the financials to anyone...if
we do not succeed here, we are still forging ahead with the
project. In fact, if everyone wants their money back...we still
forge ahead. We will re-align with another plan so that the PODS
rise and the people and microbes thrive and be open and honest
with all contributors.
