About us I am María Méndez, I was born and raised in the original community of Ocumazo. From a very young age and from the hand of my father I learned agriculture, we sowed wheat, corn, potatoes, broad beans, peas and barley. My father owned a hydraulic mill, he taught me everything about its world and how it works. In that mill we made flour from everything we sowed. My father also taught me how to make bread, we made bread with the flours that we ground in our own mill. When I grew up and got married, I came to live in Pucara. In this community I also dedicate myself to agriculture and the production of buns that I sometimes sell to tourists who pass through the route to the Mirador de las Serranías de Hornocal.
