About this print:
Without power or running water Julio Hancco with his wife Rosa and their children, nurture and create new and unique varieties of potatoes, sold in small quantities around the world as specialist ‘slow food’. Grown in the purest of conditions, 14,600 ft above sea level in the Andes, and surrounded by Llamas, the methods adopted by Julio are reportedly 4000 years old. Known as the Potato King of Peru, Julio represents way of living and farming that is elsewhere being replaced by modern agriculture, technology and lifestyle.
