Aloe Vera

DESCRIPTION:

It’s funny how we end up selling something. We first started growing Aloe vera outside our cactus breeding greenhouse to help with sunburns while working. It worked so well, and grew so well, we started giving it to our neighboring farmers. Eventually we started grow so much we began to sell it. Now we grow aloe around the borders of our farms in rocky/dry spots as it is so well suited to dry soils. Aloe vera is a very useful plant, especially for skin conditions such as burns and sun burns. The outside skin is peeled off and the inner juicy pulp is spread over the skin for a truly amazing cooling action.
