In 2015 BAF took its first steps toward the long–term goal of developing organic agriculture as a way of improving rural livelihoods. We began our activities by establishing a local organisation and installing fifty–two beehives to produce premium quality honey as well as starting the production of wild–crafted herbal teas and culinary herbs. Consequently, two previously unemployed families are now receiving salaries.

Our activities are located in northwestern Armenia in Ashotsk region of the Shirak Marz at an altitude of 2,000 m, an absolutely pure and wild environment.

You may contribute to the project by supporting a beehive. Your contribution gives you the possibility of sampling our products. You may choose to receive either honey or herbs (or some of both) from this year’s yields up to the value of your investment. For the choice of products consult our catalogue www.alternativefuture.ch/catalogue. Your contribution will be invested in projects to allow us to grow, thereby offering sources of income to a larger number of people through the production of natural products.

The cost of supporting a beehive is CHF 250–. You also have the option of investing in part of a beehive or more than one: contribute whatever sum you like. You will be given a certificate documenting your contribution.
